Pictures of Air Canada uniforms from 1937 to today
Late 1960's Influenced by pop music, the style of the fourth uniform was transformed from a classical formal look to something young and modern, fresh and feminine. Flight attendants now wore a short A-line (above the knee) dress with Peter Pan collar, rather than a suit and blouse, and could choose to wear flared trousers, box jackets or coats.The hat was an optional accessory rather than a mandatory part of the uniform. Uniforms may have been getting smaller but everything else was getting bigger. During this same time, we added the Boeing 747 to the fleet and constructed a new two-bay hangar at Montreal airport as well as new line maintenance facilities at Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto. Air Canada uniforms over the past 75 years were shown as a retrospective fashion show in Toronto on March 2, 2012 as part of the company's 75th Anniversary Year celebrations.
