London-based uniform supplier Jermyn Street Design (JSD) has successfully outfitted over 6,000 Jet2.com cabin crew and pilot staff with new uniforms, marking the airline’s first major uniform redesign in more than 20 years. The extensive project involved creating over 130,000 individual items following an 18-month consultation process with employees across all departments.
The development focused heavily on inclusivity, with JSD coordinating extensive wearer trials throughout 2024 to ensure the uniforms accommodated all genders, body shapes, ages, and cultures. Practical considerations included testing for wearability in different climates, fabric flexibility, comfort, and style while also prioritizing sustainability with recycled materials and fully recyclable packaging.
As part of Jet2.com’s sustainability commitment, over 80,000 garments from old uniforms will be recycled into new materials, with an additional 3,000 garments being donated to charity. JSD adopted a bespoke approach for each business unit within Jet2.com, including cabin crew, ground operations, engineering, flight deck, holidays team, and retail operations. The uniform designs incorporate sustainable materials including recycled polyester and mechanical stretch fabrics to avoid elastane use.
