Newly launched low-cost airline Akasa Air has gone for a fresh style of its own in choosing cabin crew uniforms that are eco-friendly and give precedence to comfort.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The airline has broken away from the trend of stylish high-heeled pointed shoes and opted for sneakers instead so that the cabin crew can work in comfort.&nbsp; The airline has also decided against skirts and the air hostesses will be attired in a combination of orange bandgala kurtis and black trousers. The male members will wear orange T-shirts and black jackets.</p>
<p>
The Mumbai-headquartered Akasa Air tweeted:&nbsp; &ldquo;#AkasaCrewLook: Our crew uniforms are made using recycled polyester fabric made from pet bottle plastics salvaged from marine waste. &rdquo;</p>
<p>
Explaining the thought behind the design, the Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-promoted airline tweeted: &ldquo;Inspired by our roots. Our crew jacket design draws inspiration from the Indian bandhgala and takes it farther into the future.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
In a press release, the low-cost airline said the sneakers have &ldquo;extra cushioning from heel to toe&rdquo; to ensure that the crew feel comfortable during long flights. They also added that the &ldquo;sole of the sneakers is carved from recycled rubber and manufactured without any use of plastic&rdquo;.</p>
