Philippine Airlines (PAL) has decided to provide a new cabin crew uniform this week. The uniform will be a PPE gown accessorized with disposable latex gloves and a face shield. The new uniform is part of the airline’s re-energized health and safety procedures. Reports say that the uniform has already been used in some rescue flights over the last few days.

 

 

Filipino couturier Edwin Tan, the main hand behind the new outfits said in a statement that the detail of the uniform is a subtle branding for PAL. He informed that the team did not have the time to print or embroider the logo, so they used the idea of mimicking or reworking the ‘flag’ logo of Philippine Airlines on the uniform.

 

 

He also mentioned that the notice period for the designing was short and the bodysuit is based on an operating theatre gown. He shared that it has ties around the waist, long sleeves, gartered cuffs, and a high neckline. The idea behind the uniform is minimise the risk of infections on-board.

 

 

 

Cielo Villaluna, Head of Corporate Communications, Philippine Airlines mentioned that the new uniforms are still in progress and PAL is yet to finalise the look that it brings. As the airlines had to face certain criticisms for rescue flight crew wearing a wide assortment of PPE clothing, the new attempt is made to create a uniform look exclusive to PAL.

 

 

The airlines have also specified that these uniforms will only be worn by rescue flights crew. After the cancelation of all international and domestic services, repatriation flights are the only flights that Philippine Airlines is operating at the moment.
