Airline uniform design is frequently in the news lately, with several airlines choosing 2019 to update their image. Aer Lingus and British Airways plan on new uniforms next year and American Airlines is also doing the same thing.
American Airlines is first cab off the rank, with their employees choosing between two designs. One was called “Skybound” and the other “Modern Voyage”, with the latter being selected by a vote.
American Airlines Uniform Design
Field testing of the new uniform starts in November 2018, running through to the end of April 2019. Implementation of the new uniform will then take place in the last quarter of 2019.
Overall Thoughts
Should the uniform design be a success, we will probably see them cladding American Airlines employees for many years to come. I’m interested to see how the giant scarves look on board – hopefully they won’t get in the way.

I was looking for this information relating to such uniform design American airlines. You have really eased my work by posting this article, loved your writing skill as well. Please keep sharing more, would love to read more from you!
Thanks Oliver, glad you enjoyed the article!
The combination of color is the only which is more visible and decide whether it looks decent or not. The white and red and combination is good and so does the blue and white. Besides that, using navy blue color make it look authentic and much professional.
Yes, that’s very true! Thanks for your comment.
no personality at all. the men’s uniform is just a boring suit. how are you suppose to tell them apart from the passengers.
Well, I guess a lot of passengers don’t wear suits and the wings will be a giveaway. Thanks for the comment!
Nice uniforms I think. Too bad American never goes anywhere, at least not on time. It was great when American was a transportation company. Now they are a sales and marketing company. If you get there that is great but it is not the goal of the company. Ask the last CIO which she thinks the company would worry about more…1) a flight with 200 people going to Paris that is six hours late because of “maintenance problems” or 2) the website being down six hours and they can’t sell 200 people $250,000 worth of tickets to Paris. Duh.
When I initially saw them, I didn’t like them, but they are growing on me. They look like flight attendant uniforms anyway, so that’s something. I’d like to see it in person to see the details of it. I think I’d probably worry about the web site being down as well, if the truth be told. One flight versus not being able to bring in any money is a bit of a no brainer. Thanks for the comment!
