Quoting N202PA (Reply 2): Someone should tell them that Hooters Air didn't last long...
After watching the video a second time, I really can't see something offensive, the bikinis are very discrete, although the Vietnamese culture could be much more conservative ( ? ). Now, If the song of the video saying the banana this and the banana that was not only in the video but also during the show, well, maybe that is crossing some limits
The article didn't say if the fine is for safety reasons, moral issues or any specific situation.... anyone with a hint on what basis had the authorities for the fine ??
THere are actually three videos of different F/As all flashing panties and going back to the camera guy, while serving from the cart. I'd book this airline

That looks a bit fake to me. Too many different camera angles. Not complaining though.

The flight is to CAM RANH, the old us naval base (later Russian naval base) in Vietnam, which is now a tourist destination with great beaches . . . similar to Da Nang.

IMO, as somebody who's not "into that," I don't see what's so offensive. Sure, they're in bikinis.. if you don't like it just look away.
Quoting Gonzalo (Reply 4): although the Vietnamese culture could be much more conservative ( ? ).
It could be that, in general Vietnamese culture is *slightly* more conservative than American culture when it comes to attire, etc. The things that set off my grandma are questionable (or barely questionable, for that matter). In fact, if you look at the guy at 1:05, that is the VERY face my grandma gives when she disapproves of something..
But, if you look at the video a fair amount of people seem to recording the event.. and most of them look Vietnamese to me. Older generation is much more conservative, younger generation is more in line if not more liberal than most Americans.
(perspective of someone who's half Vietnamese)
Quoting fcogafa (Reply 10): There is a lot more to those movies, seemingly of Japanese origin and they are hardcore.

I hate to break it to you but that scene is from a Japanese adult film. It wasn't filmed by a voyeur.
Don't ask me how I know that

Hi guys,
I am from VN so I will have a little more information about this topic to share with you guys.
This show was organize by VietJet Air for the Opening route of SGN-NHA. Because Nha Trang is a beach town, so that is the idea of bikini girl came from. Also, The girls who were dancing are part of the Beauty contest event called Miss Star which sponsored by VietJet Air as well.
The reason for the fine is Vietjet air has not informed the CAAV and Vietjet air does not have a licensed to organize "fashion show" .
They got fine for 20 mil VND (less than 1,000 USD) for 3 minutes show. I think it is worth marketing expense though

Quoting TC957 (Reply 22): I reckon a certain Michael O'leary is kicking himself for not having come up with that idea when launching services to holiday hotspots
Oh well, at least they have the calendar with crews posing and if FR longhaul ever comes to fruition there will be some special services offered to those flying business,
