African low-cost airline fastjet unveiled its new uniform designs last week, to be worn by ground staff and aircrew across all its bases in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
“The airline’s new uniform continues to feature the signature yellow and grey colour scheme elements that have made it an iconic piece over the years, incorporated into a restyling that combines a traditional look with contemporary fashion characteristics,” fastjet said in a statement.
The new female cabin crew dress features a yellow runway stripe on the front, while the speedmark, a recognisable part of the aircraft livery, features in the scarves. It is also represented by a yellow triangular fold on the cabin crew jacket collars and sleeve folds.
In addition, the female cabin crew will wear grey or yellow aprons when performing service duties, whilst male cabin crew will sport a modern cut grey waistcoat with yellow features.
The airline has replaced the male ground staff and crew's uniform with a classic grey suit and yellow tie featuring the airline's mascot, Percy Grey. Grey is an iconic feature on the aircraft's tail section.
The new uniform also includes subtle changes to the design of grey suits worn by pilots.
Commenting on the new uniforms, Donahue Cortes, fastjet Group Chief Operating Officer, said: “Our new uniform has been designed to make our staff feel proud, comfortable and empowered, ensuring they stand out and excel in every environment. Over the past year, we have worked closely in consultation with different departments and colleagues within the business to design a functional, practical and distinguishable uniform. This uniform considers the varying working conditions of our staff while maintaining compliance with the relevant requirements.”
Cortes added: “Using bespoke fabrics with enhanced breathability capabilities, we are bringing back classic elegance with a smart modern look and some fun elements such as branded socks that will become a signature statement for our staff.”
