LOW-COST Vietnamese carrier VietJet
has been cornered into assuring Indonesia that its flight attendants
will be fully clothed when it makes its maiden flight to Jakarta.
The
airline’s announcement that it will launch a direct route from Ho Chi
Minh City to Jakarta was shrouded in controversy because of a divisive
PR-stunt by the airline in 2012.The airline was fined 20 million Dong — about $A1100 — when it hosted a mid-flight dance by bikini-clad beauty pageant contestants without first gaining permission from the nation’s aviation authorities.
Five women, all candidates in a local beauty contest, performed the three-minute Hawaiian-themed dance while passengers recorded the show on camera phones and later posted clips online.
The controversial in-flight entertainment was to celebrate its maiden flight between Ho Chi Minh City and the tourist hub of Nha Trang.
