Malaysia Airlines chooses songket for new ground staff uniform

Malaysia Aviation Group, which runs Malaysia Airlines, has a new look for its AeroDarat Services (ADS) ground crew, and it's looking chic and spiffy. The update in uniform is part of the company’s efforts in embracing diversity and transforming itself to be even better. The new set of uniforms are in navy blue, and feature one of Malaysia's iconic crafts, the songket. Focusing on modernity, the tailored ensemble – consisting of a blazer, a shirt and skirt or pants for women, and for the men, a Nehru-collared shirt and trousers – symbolises MAG’s unwavering commitment to providing quality service, and its professionalism, while celebrating Malaysia's vibrant culture. The outfits for women are interchangeable, meaning one can choose to wear either the pants or skirt, and there is also a hijab in the same colour for those who wish to wear it. According to MAG group managing director, Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, the uniform was designed in-house by creative young minds.<br/>
