They are like regular air hostesses but they wear less dress, or no dress at all. VietJet Air, Vietnam’s only privately-owned airlines, has worked up quite a stir in the aviation industry with its young, attractive, bikini-clad flight attendants.
As reported by ABC News, “Clad in vaporous string bikini tops and sarongs that flaunted the company colors of red and yellow, young, beautiful women filed down the plane’s aisles for a bikini show. As passengers pulled out their smart phones and video cameras in order to archive their unique airline experience, the young women sashayed up and down the plane, batting their eyelashes at the passengers and handing out toys to children.”Although the airline managed to delight its passengers on that occasion, Vietnamese aviation authorities were not amused.
As clips from the performance went viral online, the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) slapped VietJet with a $1,000 fine for holding an “unapproved show” on the plane. But because the plane had reached a safe altitude before hosting the three-minute show, the airline was allowed to continue with the practice.
From a business standpoint, the bikini image seems to have paid off for Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, as VietJet is all set to surpass national carrier Vietnam Airlines as the nation’s biggest domestic carrier this year (before nko).
