Ground and flight crew will be suited up in PPEs
Perhaps the most visible reminder that flying has changed—at least until we get the vaccine—will be the personal protective equipment (PPE) that airline crew and staff will be donning whether inflight or on the ground. PPEs will be the new uniforms. Air Asia Philippines took it up a notch by getting famed designer Puey Quinones to design the “red hot” PPEs for the airline. Sheila Romero, vice chairman for Air Asia Philippines, says, “I chose to have PPE material that is approved by the Department of Health to protect our Allstars.” The uniforms will have the airline’s logo, face shields, hoods, long pants, and sleeves. It was launched on a recovery flight from Bangkok to Manila a few weeks ago. The Los Angeles-based designer says the suits are made of breathable, sturdy material. “I want to boost the morale of our staff when they wear this new uniform. I want it to be chic and sporty,” Romero adds.
