Eurovision fans flying to Liverpool are being served by cabin crew wearing memorable outfits from the song contest.
EasyJet said some of its crew members based at the city’s airport have temporarily ditched their uniforms to recreate the looks of past performers.
They include Abba lead singer Agnetha Faltskog’s blue jumpsuit and knee-high platform boots from 1974, Jedward’s holographic outfits from 2012 and the primary colours and skirt ripping of Bucks Fizz in 1981.
Ukraine’s Ruslana – who wore a quirky leather and fur costume when she won the 2004 competition – is also represented.
Passengers flying with easyJet to and from Liverpool this week may be served by crews wearing the outfits.
The airline’s director of cabin services Michael Brown said Eurovision is “much-loved by our people as well as millions of our customers throughout Europe”.
He went on: “Our crew couldn’t resist the opportunity to celebrate the competition in our own way – taking to the runway in the most iconic Eurovision looks of all time.
“We have a long history with the host city of Liverpool and are the city’s largest airline, so we are really excited to be getting passengers flying with us this week into the Eurovision spirit.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
