While the female cabin crew can wear anything from dress, skirt, trousers, as well as the jumpsuit, men can don a three-piece suit. The new collection has been created British fashion designer Ozwald Boateng who has been working on it for the past five years. The release was earlier delayed owing to the Covid pandemic, the report said.

It will also include a red scarf with wavy designs in blue and white, the report said, as the design is inspired by the movement of air over an aircraft wing.
