Vistara on Friday said that it is going through a shortage in cabin crew uniforms as the airline has been increasing its cabin crew members. The company issued an official statement and said that employees are focused on delivering world-class customer service.

"Given our fleet expansion, we have been scaling up our cabin crew strength as well. However, due to an unforeseen issue with the supply of material, Vistara is experiencing limited availability of its own cabin crew uniforms. While not an ideal measure, but with the objective of ensuring business continuity and smooth operations to the maximum extent, we have found an interim solution.

It further mentioned that the employees will be seen in black-coloured trousers and polo t-shirts with Vistara logo in the coming days.

"In the coming days, some of our cabin crew may be seen performing their duties in black-coloured trousers and polo t-shirts with Vistara logo instead of our standard aubergine uniform," added the statement.

"We are actively working with our suppliers to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We would like to assure our customers that irrespective of this temporary uniform, the focus of all our cabin crew remains on delivering world-class customer service. We thank our customers for their cooperation and understanding," the statement further said.

Earlier this month, full-service Vistarabecame the first Indian airline to operate a commercial domestic flight on a wide-body aircraft using sustainable aviation fuel.

According to the airline, this historic feat was achieved on Vistara's brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, flying from Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), Delhi, to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai, using a blend of 17 per cent SAF with 83 per cent conventional jet fuel.

On this flight, Vistara was able to reduce approximately 10,000 pounds of CO2 emissions. This pioneering initiative is part of Vistara's ongoing efforts to minimise carbon footprint and support a sustainable future for the aviation industry, according to the airline.
