This is one way for an airline to build customer support: host a mid-flight, bikini-clad beauty pageant.

AFP reports that the Vietnamese carrier VietJet hosted a Hawaiian-themed dance contest to celebrate the airline's maiden flight between Ho Chi Minh City and the tourist hub of Nha Trang, but got in trouble -- not for the parade of scantily-clad women -- but for making the mistake of not first gaining permission by the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam.

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 low-cost carrier has been fined $1000 for hosting the mid-flight contest.

The five women who participated in the beauty contest performed a three-minute dance on a Aug. 3 flight while passengers recorded the show on camera phones and later posted clips online, AFP reports.

The incident has caused a stirred in Vietnam, a conservative country, after photographs and video clips spread on the Internet...

Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA). Without a doubt, they had the most attractive stuardesses with the shortest outfits. The best part is that one could go to the airport, board the plane, and purchase a ticket from one of the them after the plane took off. No reservation needed. San Diego fare to LA was $10. Fare to San Francisco was $25. Planes left every hour.

Agreed...

Even knew this was a noble cause, even without the pix, they are just an added bonus....

One could imagine that other than the true religious people the only ones offended by these SYT’s won’t be anywhere near a ChikFil A anytime soon... <:

Nha Trang (same bay as Cam Ranh) is probably the best site in Viet Nam. The dance show could only be a nice enhancement. It’s only about a one hour flight.

I heard Nha Trang is very nice. I was about 147 miles down the coast from there in a resort village called Mui Ne which is near the city of Phan Thiet.

As a kid, I flew Braniff Airlines back during the brief period when Braniff featured the Air Strip on its longer flights. The flight attendants started the flight in several layers of velour with big 1960s zippers. At different points during the flight, 'The Stripper' by David Rose and His Orchestra would play, the flight attendants would step out into the aisle and seductively begin to unzip and remove their outer layer of uniform. After about four strips, they went from from a full caftan-like uniform to hot pants, go-go boots, and a brief top.
