In celebration of 85 years of operation, Turkish Airlines has unveiled a fresh look with a new uniform specially designed for its cabin crew.

The new uniforms will begin to be used following the opening of the Istanbul New Airport, the new home of the flag-carrier.

Inspired by many classic elements of Turkish design and culture, the new uniforms incorporate traditional patterns found in artisanal glassware, ceramics and calligraphy with contemporary textures and details.

The global airline, which flies to more countries than any other, paired up with Milan-based Haute Couturier Ettore Bilotta to create the dynamic new uniform design heralding a new era and brand identity for the national flag-carrier.

M. İlker Aycı, Turkish Airlines chairman, said: “Turkish Airlines is always thrilled to collaborate with such creative and distinctive talents which blend elegant and practical design.

“While maintaining traditional elements of Turkish design and culture, our new uniforms are professional and stay true to a culture of hospitality, just like our airline.”
