1. Introduction
Our uniform plays a significant role in the Air Cairo brand. When wearing the uniform, we identify
ourselves as part of the successfully growing company, therefore, we must be aware that the way
we conduct ourselves in it influences the public image of Air Cairo. As Cabin Crew, we are the first
line of contact with our passengers, and it is up to us to portray a professional image to our guests.
Our image is a part of our brand and influences customer’s perception and choice. Our uniform
and appearance are a key element of the Air Cairo brand. We want to project a neat, clean, and
professional image. Adhering to the grooming standards and wearing the uniform as intended
conveys a consistent look and brand experience.

2. General guidelines
This policy sets out uniform and appearance requirements and recommended practices aiming to
enhance Air Cairo’s public image and facilitating its external contacts.
The aim of the uniform regulations is to ensure clear guidelines are followed across the network.
This will support us in meeting set expectations and ensuring our passengers receive a
professional service that we stand for.

were prepared with a view not to compromise the safety of operations, passengers, or employees,

professional standing of the organisation. Any proposed deviation from this policy must be agreed

The Air Cairo uniform should only be worn at work and commuting to and from work. There
are times, however, when due to convenience we may find ourselves in a public place
wearing uniform, i.e., gas station, shop etc. Under these circumstances we are still a
representative of Air Cairo, and the uniform standards must be adhered to.
Any recommendations or questions should be directed to the Cabin Crew Manager.
