Air India needs to pay more attention to the real issue – customer service. Changing dress code would not accomplish much!

Manish Malhotra is incredibly talented and an aesthetic designer, sari is the most elegant attire for any woman, but it is not a functional or practical for a flight attendant and mind you they are not called stewardesses anymore. Any wardrobe has to be elegant but but we should consider emergencies that happen in flight and the wardrobe has to accommodate thise situations.

It is a great decision taken for uniforms by Air India- (Air Bharat or Bharat Air ) with best designer of Bharat. I am sure company directors will design best Bharatiya dress which will shine the image of Bharat in the World.
