New Delhi: With the government close to finalising wedding plans for its grand union with Indian Airlines, the septuagenarian Air India has grounded the much-touted exercise of getting its cabin crew uniforms redesigned by the fashion gurus of India.
Air India had roped in five top-notch fashion designers — the likes of Ritu Beri, J J Vallaya, Tarun Tahiliani, Satya Paul and Lifestyle — to give its cabin crew and staff a designer look.
While AI and the designers had held several meetings — and ramp walks — in the past to discuss various designs, a final cut on the uniform is yet to come through.
The designers, officials said, have already been informed about the change in plans. "Since the merger would create a new, single entity, it was felt that Indian officials should also be taken on board with the redesigning of crew uniform," an official said.
This redesigning process, the official said, will be revisited by the end of the current fiscal — the deadline set by civil aviation minister Praful Patel for merging Air India and Indian.
