Virgin Atlantic ditches gender uniforms
Virgin is now the most inclusive airline in the skies, thanks to its new gender-neutral uniform policy.
Pilots, cabin crew and ground staff are now free to wear whatever they feel expresses their individuality, whether that be traditional men’s or women’s clothing, or something more unique.
Previously women had to wear a red uniform and men wore burgundy and the airlines says that the change makes it “the most inclusive airline in the skies”.
The move away from gendered uniforms has been applauded by staff, and sets Virgin Atlantic apart as an airline that is championing inclusivity.
Jaime Forsstroem, a member of Virgin cabin crew, said: “The updated gender identity policy is so important to me. As a non-binary person, it allows me to be myself at work and have the choice in what uniform I wear.”
The airline is amending its “trans inclusion policies” which include time off work for medical treatments related to gender transition,.
It is also introducing an option to include pronouns on workers’ name badges.
