Vietnam airlines fined for inflight bikini show

HANOI (AFP) - A Vietnamese airline has been fined for hosting a mid-flight dance by bikini-clad beauty pageant contestants without first gaining permission, state media said on Thursday.

Low-cost carrier VietJet Air was fined US$1,000 (S$1,244) by the nation's aviation authorities for organising the Hawaiian-themed dance to celebrate its maiden flight between Ho Chi Minh City and the tourist hub of Nha Trang, the Tuoi Tre newspaper said.

Five women, all candidates in a local beauty contest, performed the three-minute dance on the Aug 3 flight while passengers recorded the show on camera phones and later posted clips online, the paper added.

The airline "violated local aviation regulations" by organising "an unapproved show on a flight," Mr Nguyen Trong Thang, chief inspector of the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam, was quoted as saying in the report.
