DANANG, Vietnam (AP) - State
media say a Vietnam airline was fined after beauty queens in bikinis
performed to blasting dance music during a flight.
A YouTube video shows young
women in open vests and red bikini tops gyrating in the aisle as gleeful
male passengers snap photographs on the Vietjet Air flight.
State-run media reported
Vietnam's Civil Aviation Administration fined the airline 20 million
dong ($960) for staging the three-minute show without receiving official
approval.
In a letter to Vietnamese
authorities Tuesday, the company said the event inaugurated its first
flight from Ho Chi Minh City to coastal Nha Trang. It said all safety
regulations were followed. A company spokeswoman refused to comment on
the fine.
Vietjet Air was founded in 2007 and is privately owned.
