Santiago, June 12, 2025. With 24 years of history connecting destinations in South America, the Caribbean, and Miami, SKY is advancing its transformation with a people-centered approach. As part of this process, the company presented the new uniform for its flight crew (cockpit and flight attendants) at the Airbus Chile Training Center (Tobalaba Aerodrome). This uniform was developed by the Chilean company Proyecto Visión, in conjunction with SKY partners, to improve functionality and comfort, reflecting the brand's current identity.
Just as SKY sought to "turn on its head" the traditional legacy airline model 10 years ago, transforming itself into a low-cost airline, this time it has also decided to go a step beyond the traditional flight uniform, becoming the first airline to incorporate sneakers as an official hallmark of style and comfort. The new uniform will begin to be phased in starting in July of this year.
"With this renovation, we reaffirm our commitment to a more accessible, efficient, and sustainable aviation experience, where every detail, from the technology to the uniform, is designed to enhance the experience of both those who fly with SKY and those who are part of our crew," said José Ignacio Dougnac, CEO of SKY.
The design of the new uniform is inspired by SKY's colors and visual identity, with clean lines and elements that allow freedom of movement, aligned with a modern, urban aesthetic. The addition of sneakers not only responds to a global trend but also a practical necessity, considering the crew's work dynamic and their central role in the passenger experience.
"This announcement is part of a broader modernization process that our company has undertaken in recent years. This has been reflected in the fleet renewal process, the formation of interline alliances with major international airlines, the incorporation of SABRE as our new core system, and the renewal of all our digital channels, always seeking continuous improvement for our customers' experience," the executive added.
Another step forward the company has taken in recent years is related to strengthening the training of its internal team. In this context, the SKY Inflight Service Academy was created, which already provides more than 2,300 hours of crew training annually between Chile and Peru, focusing on safety, friendliness, and reliability. In addition, a strategic alliance with Airbus has strengthened pilot training through its Training Center.
In terms of sustainability, SKY operates a fleet comprised entirely of Airbus neo aircraft, which allows for a reduction of up to 60% in carbon emissions per seat compared to the previous generation. This more efficient model has been key to positioning the airline as a regional leader in responsible, low-cost operations.
These advances have been recognized by the industry: SKY has been awarded seven times by SKYTRAX, three times as Best Regional Airline and four times in the Best Low Cost Airline in South America category.
