Green Africa which is on the verge of starting scheduled flights has unveiled its cockpit and cabin crew uniform.
Speaking at the event, the chief executive officer of the airline, Mr. Babawande Afolabi said the uniform “is environmentally friendly African blend that portrays culture and aesthetics.”
“Today, we want to show you a glimpse of what our crew will look like while serving you, our customer.
“One of our five point agenda to customers is service and we would be doing this by showing you how our crew will look…” he said.
Afolabi who explained the motivation behind floating the airline said since his time as an investment banker, he had a fascination for all forms of transportation – rail, land air, adding that the dream to own an airline had been in the works.
“The plan is to use Green Africa to create a better future and that better future for us means three things specifically one: make safe, affordable, reliable air travel accessible to a much broader group of people; two: create an enabling environment for the Green Team where ideas are celebrated, greater value added and three: use Green Africa as a broad platform that will show what is best about this region,” he said.
Also speaking, the director of cabin crew services, Jasmine Dhillion said: “Our Crew uniform is a judicious blend of African style with Green Africa elements and a contemporary global feel. Made from natural fabrics which makes our uniform not only environmentally friendly but also keeps our crew comfortable as natural fabrics are more ‘breathable’.
“The colours of the uniform which are our brand colours are inspired by the vast and varied African landscape with the basic cuts inspired by the Nigerian prints popularly called Ankara.
“Green is just not a colour to us, it is a concept, it signifies vibrancy, growth and sustainability which is what our brand and uniforms represent.
For us, the comfort of the crew while wearing the uniform is paramount because happy crew means happy customers!”
