Singapore Girl

An earlier traditional version of the "Sarong Kebaya" uniform was first introduced by MSA and worn by the flight attendants since 1968.

[7][8] Singapore Girl was coined in 1972 when Pierre Balmain, a French haute couture designer, was hired to construct and update the "Sarong Kebaya" as part of the cabin crew's uniform.

As part of efforts to build the image of the "Singapore Girl", the airline runs a rigorous training program for cabin and flight crew.

The airline's repute, and the resulting prestige of the job, has allowed it to be highly selective during its recruitment process as it receives numerous applications locally and from around the region.

Trainees undergo classes in flight safety and security, first aid, service, etiquette, grooming, deportment, communication and wine appreciation among others.
