Move over other airlines, this “Bikini Airline” is set to make the first woman billionaire in Vietnam.
Vietnamese entrepreneur Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, who is VietJet Air’s incumbent CEO, is on her way to becoming Vietnam’s first billionaire.
Her latest marketing ploy is dressing up VietJet Air’s flight attendants in sexy bikini outfits.
With this business move, VietJet Air is expected to grab 30% of Vietnam’s airline market share in just a few years.

According to reports, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao’s fortune is expected to balloon to $1.37 billion once her privately-owned airlines becomes public in the coming three months.

In an interview, when asked about the sexy attire of her crew, Thao said:
You have the right to wear anything you like, either the bikini or the traditional ao dai (traditional Vietnamese clothing). We don’t mind people associating the airline with the bikini image. If that makes people happy, then we are happy.
What do you think of this marketing stint? Are you looking forward in riding VietJet Air in case it flies in the Philippines?
When In Manila ” looking forward in” ~ looking forward TO
I dont find it appropriate to see attendants on their bikini serving on my flight… Its really a quick way to get attention though … A marketing strategy …
A woman exploiting other women for financial gain. Nothing new here. Still sad, though.
And please, the rationalization that “the women seem to be enjoying what they’re doing, so it can’t be exploitation” is an old and weary one. Gasgas na, sabi na nga.
This Airlines is “SPG” ?
I double checked and confirmed that this is posted today, April 2… (not April 1).
