Paris-based Australian designer Martin Grant is responsible for the new Qantas airline staff uniforms that were publicly unveiled on 16 April 2013 . These were to replace the previous uniforms , dubbed colloquially as " Morrisey " by staff after the designer , Peter Morrissey . Qantas ambassador and model Miranda Kerr assisted with the launch of the new outfits for which the colours of navy blue , red and fuchsia pink are combined . Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce stated that the new design " speaks of Australian style on the global stage " at the launch event that involved Qantas employees modelling the uniforms . Grant consulted with Qantas staff members over the course of one year to finalise the 35 styles that were eventually created . Not all employees were happy with the new uniform , however , with one flight attendant being quoted as saying " The uniforms are really tight and they are simply not practical for the very physical job we have to do . " Qantas operates flightseeing charters to Antarctica on behalf of Croydon Travel . It first flew Antarctic flightseeing trips in 1977 . They were suspended for a number of years due to the crash of Air New Zealand Flight 901 on Mount Erebus in 1979 . Qantas restarted the flights in 1994 . Although these flights do not touch down , they require specific polar operations and crew training due to factors like sector whiteout , which contributed to the 1979 Air New Zealand disaster
