VietJet Controversy

VietJet is the fastest growing Vietnamese Airline. But it has had its share of controversy. The airline is nicknamed as the ‘Bikini Airline’ as it has used bikini-clad flight attendants before.

In 2018, Vietnam’s aviation authority fined the airline for a semi-naked and celebratory display by bikini-clad models aboard a special flight carrying home the country’s under-23 football team from competition in China.
