Fiji Airways unveils new uniform

Fiji Airways has unveiled its new uniform, putting its female pilots to the forefront in line with the International Womens Day today.

The new pilot uniform combines the industry standardised style with distinctive Fiji Airways brand design elements such as the use of masi motifs on the brown tie.

These complement the Masi motifs which appear on the Fiji Airways Cabin Crew Uniforms.

The pants are now black instead of navy blue, and black shoulder epaulets with silver stripes compliment the white shirt.

Silver chinstraps with black braid design along with a ‘Fiji’ wordmark adorns the pilot hat.

The winged badge has been adapted to showcase the Fiji Airways ‘Teteva’.

Each pilot uniform is decorated with insignia representing duties and rank.

Fiji Airways Chief Pilot and General Manager Flight Operations Captain, Josua Cavalevu said the new uniform insignia has been customised with special features to reflect the Fiji Airways brand.

Cavalevu said they are using this launch to bring attention to the fact that they have some fantastic female pilots in their team.

Cavalevu said they are hoping more young women seriously consider flying as a career and ultimately join the pilot ranks at Fiji Airways.

The new uniforms have been rolled out for use from today.

There are currently five female pilots at Fiji Airways - four Fijians and one on contract from Brazil.
