New Delhi: After planes, engines and spare parts, Covid-induced supply chain constraints have now hit fabric availability too in the aviation industry.
Vistara is “experiencing limited availability of its cabin crew uniforms” due to which some of them “may be seen performing their duties in black-coloured trousers and polo t-shirts with Vistara logo instead of (the) standard aubergine uniform.” Earlier Akasa was unable to get the violet colour fabric chosen by its seats, apart from all economy Boeing 737 MAXs, due to which it currently has planes in different configurations and seat colours.
“Given our fleet expansion, we have been scaling up our cabin crew strength as well. However, due to an unforeseen issue with the supply of material, Vistara is experiencing limited availability of its cabin crew uniforms. While not an ideal measure, but with the objective of ensuring business continuity and smooth operations to the maximum extent, we have found an interim solution. In the coming days, some of our cabin crew may be seen performing their duties in black-coloured trousers and polo t-shirts with Vistara logo instead of our standard aubergine uniform,” Vistara said in a statement.
“We are actively working with our suppliers to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We would like to assure our customers that irrespective of this temporary uniform, the focus of all our cabin crew remains on delivering world-class customer service. We thank our customers for their cooperation and understanding,” the Tata Group full service airline which will soon merge with Air India said on a SM post.
