Flybe on Project Catwalk on Sky One

Flybe is featured on TV tonight on the Sky One programme Project Catwalk. The contestants on the fashion programme hosted by Kelly Osbourne were asked to create a new uniform for Flybe’s female cabin crew.

To understand the requirements for the uniforms the designers spent at day at Flybe’s base at Exeter airport performing cabin crew tasks such as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and gliding down the emergency slide.

“It was important for us to show the designers and the watching public what a professional and hard-working cabin crew team we have at Flybe, says Rutter. “We are very proud that Flybe is leading the way in fashion for low cost airlines.”
