VietJet fined for holding bikini-clad beauty pageant without permission
Passengers on the first ever VietJet flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang got a special treat midway through flight- a flight attendant Hawaiian-themed beauty contest.

Mid-flight, low-cost carrier, VietJet held a bikini clad beauty contest between 5 of their attendants which was a bonus for the unsuspecting commuters, but ended up costing the airline in the long run.
You see, the problem was not that VietJet held the beauty contest mid-flight, but rather they didn’t seek permission from the authorities from the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam.
Fox News reports, the airline “violated local aviation regulations” by organizing “an unapproved show on a flight,” Nguyen Trong Thang, chief inspector of the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam said.
The show ended up costing the airline $1,000.
The contest, which ended up on YouTube, caused a bit of a stir in the mostly conservative Southeast Asian country.
