Vistara introduces male cabin crew on flights

Vistara introduced its first male cabin crew, a mix of experienced and new crew. The crew took off to the skies following the completion of a rigorous three-month safety and service training program to the exacting standards of Tata and Singapore Airlines. Vistara also unveiled an elegant uniform for its male cabin crew, which is a fine blend of style, comfort, and functionality, designed by celebrated designer label Lecoanet Hemant.

Vistara’s elegant male crew uniform is based on its brand colours. It includes a light lavender colored shirt, along with midnight blue tailored-fit trousers and a classic, sleeveless Mandarin-collar jacket. Adding a dash of color to the elegant attire is a pale gold pocket square. The uniform has been designed to visually and functionally complement Vistara’s unique, eye-catching, and practical female cabin crew uniform. The second and third set of male crew is currently in training, and will soon be joining the first set in the air.

Sanjiv Kapoor, Chief Strategy & Commercial Officer, Vistara, said, “As we expand and prepare for international operations, we are delighted to introduce our first male cabin crew on select flights starting today. We are an equal opportunity employer, and it has always been our intent to have male cabin crew once we reached a certain scale of operations where we could efficiently roster and deploy mixed crew. Like our female cabin crew, our male cabin crew will deliver Vistara’s brand promise of providing seamless excellence to our customers through a unique, thoughtful, and personalized experience that reflects the exacting standards of Tata and Singapore Airlines.”

As the highest-rated Indian airline on SkyTrax and TripAdvisor, and winner of numerous “Best in Industry” awards, Vistara has consistently raised the bar in the Indian aviation industry and made flying an experience to look forward to again. In a short span of three years, Vistara has flown over 8.5 million customers, and today serves 22 destinations with over 730 flights a week, operated by a fleet of 19 Airbus A320 aircraft. Recently, Vistara was awarded for being the ‘Most Passenger Friendly Airline’, jointly by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Govt. of India), Airports Authority of India and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), as well as the title of ‘Best Airline – Service Standards’ (Domestic Category) by Pacific Area Travel Writers Association (PATWA) at ITB Berlin 2018.
