NEW UNIFORMS FOR NEW YEAR BUT NO POCKETS? I LIVE FOR FASHION BUT STEWARDESSES ARE NOT MODELLING THE LATEST FASHIONS BUT WORKING AND TO ME, POCKETS ARE ESSENTIAL. BUT I AM A JOURNALIST SO MAYBE AIRLINE STAFF DON'T NEED THEM.

Firefly’s Fresh and Vibrant New Look;

Firefly's new orange uniforms have the blessings of the God of Wealth but don't have pockets which baffles me. Surely large pockets are very useful to stuff all sorts of things like pens, immigration forms, napkins etc! I think pockets are essential don't you?

The grand launch of Firefly's new uniform!


 In ushering a prosperous brand refresh year for the airline concurrently with the upcoming Chinese New Year, Firefly unveiled its new cabin crew uniform today. The uniform will be to use effective from 10 February 2013. The launch of the uniform is subsequent to the airline’s recently announced fleet expansion, increased frequencies to the southern region and its website refurbishment.

Firefly’s CEO, Ignatius Ong said, “This is part of our continuous effort to enhance the look of the Firefly brand to ensure that every passenger experience our great services with a renewed feel. The new design is not only chic but exemplifies professionalism that further empowers our flight attendant in managing our flight and reinforcing safety protocols.”

In conjunction with the launch of the new uniform, Firefly is holding a one month social media campaign, ‘Get Candid and Win’, from now till 8 March. Interested participants would just have to capture their picture with any Firefly Cabin Crew in their new uniform and post it onto Firefly’s Facebook timeline to win attractive prizes from Firefly. Weekly winners will be chosen based on the most outstanding photo with a creative caption. For more details, please visit www.fireflyz.com.my.
