Thursday, 28 November 2024: Jetstar cabin crew, pilots and airport staff across the low-cost carrier's Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific network have stepped out in a new uniform today for the first time in the airline's 20-year history.
The collection is designed by renowned Australian fashion designer, Genevieve Smart. The Co-founder and Creative Director of Ginger & Smart worked alongside 40 Jetstar pilots, cabin crew and airports team members over the past two years to complete the final designs.
The new colour palette includes a softer orange and blue colour combination which was inspired by sunset as seen through an aircraft window.
The uniform will be worn by more than 6000 of the airline's frontline team members across Australia, as well as at Jetstar airlines based in New Zealand, Singapore and Japan.
It marks a new era for the airline which is on track to sell more than 12 million fares for under $100 this year and more than 21 million for less than $200.
New uniform options
For cabin crew and airports team members, the uniform offers a range of options to cater for individual style and preferences, including blazers in blue and orange, a shirt dress, tailored skirts, tapered fit trousers, polos and overcoats.
The new pilot uniform will switch from the more traditional black to blue and will feature stylish cuts, new epaulettes and the option of a neck scarf.
In Australia and New Zealand, Jetstar's old uniforms will be sustainably managed in partnership with BlockTexx®, which uses pioneering textile recovery technologies and advanced manufacturing to transform textiles into high-grade raw materials, for use in many industries. This entire process is conducted within Australia, creating jobs and social benefits for Australians.
Melbourne based company, Workwear Group, partnered with Jetstar to manufacture the new uniform.
