The next stage of the uniform rollout will see BA cabin crew, pilots and customer facing colleagues kitted out from September.
The carrier said that it was exploring options for recycling returned current uniforms, including creating a sustainable range of merchandise, and gifting certain items to the British Airways Heritage Centre.
Commenting on the news René de Groot, British Airways’ chief operating officer, said:
“This uniform has been multiple years in the making, and colleagues are genuinely excited to wear the collection, which they’re calling a step change from the previous garments, offering much more practicality.
“I’m delighted that airport operations, cargo, engineering and maintenance colleagues across our airports and bases worldwide will be the first to transition into the new designs.”
