The female cabin crew uniform is
available in three different colours:
1. Cobalt blue, for Flight Service
Managers (FSM), exudes
trustworthiness, authority and calm.
2. Tosca, for senior and junior cabin
crew, gives a sense of sophistication
and tropical freshness.

Female Maître d’Cabin
In 2013, Garuda Indonesia added
the colour lilac to the collection
of female cabin crew uniforms for
Maître d’Cabin (MdC). MdC are more
experienced and specially trained as
cabin coordinators for each service
class (First Class, Business Class and
Economy Class). Lilac is used to express
elegance, inspiration and creativity.
In flights that implement the
‘New Service Concept’, the cabin
crew includes a Chef in the First
Class cabin and a Manager Cuisine
in the Business Class cabin.

Explore & Explore Jet Cabin Crew
In November 2013, Garuda Indonesia
officially began operation of its ATR
72-600 fleet, which was introduced
as the Garuda Indonesia sub-brand
‘Explore’, flying to remote areas around
the archipelago. To accommodate
mobility in the slender aircraft, a new,
specially designed cabin crew uniform
was introduced for ATR aircraft.
This uniform is also worn by Cabin
Crew in the Bombardier CRJ1000
NextGen aircraft, operated under the
Garuda Indonesia sub-brand ‘Explore Jet’.
