Thai Airways International has launched a new uniform for female
cabin crew, that the airline says embraces “a combination of the
national identity and sustainable development”.
The Thai Ruean Ton, the graceful Thai national dress worn by THAI
flight attendants for six decades, is now weaved with synthetic thread
made of recycled materials, and Thai silk.
The materials used in the dress further address THAI’s commitment to
greenhouse gases emission reduction initiatives, as well as the
airline’s net zero emission goal in 2050.
Several projects have recently been developed by the airline group
under the Zero Waste Living principle consisting of three pillars,
namely From Planes to Planet, From Waste to Wealth and From Purple to
Purpose.
The new uniform has passed safety standards and will be worn by female flight attendants onboard from 1 January 2024.
