No more sarees? Air India may bring in new look for flight crew

For six decades now, Air India's flight attendants have worn the whole nine yards while negotiating long-haul flights and demanding passengers.

But by the end of the year, the only airline to have their women flight attendants wear sarees on board, will likely move on to more contemporary attire.

HT has learnt that new uniforms expected by November, may no longer have the saree as part of crew's wardrobe.

Designer Manish Malhotra, who is overseeing the new look, declined to comment citing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) but officials aware of the development said that the new look will still have traditional options.
