Oy: This Is How Thai VietJet Celebrates An Inaugural Flight

Published: December 20, 2017

I’ve enjoyed the inaugural flights I’ve taken over the years, as airlines always try to make them a bit special to drum up some buzz. I guess this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but Thai VietJet just inaugurated a route from Bangkok to Dalat, and they celebrated in a rather unique way.

For those of you not familiar with VietJet, it’s originally a Vietnamese airline that is known for their annual bikini calendar of flight attendants. The way they sexually objectify women seems a bit degrading to me, though interestingly the CEO of the airline is a woman.

Thai VietJet is a much smaller airline, with only three planes so far. So, how did they celebrate this inaugural flight? According to the story from Thai Visa, with a “mid-air surprise” from the “trolley dollies.” Here it is:

All I can say is…

What do you make of VietJet’s inaugural “mid-air surprise” from the “trolley dollies?”

@MC Uh, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show serves the purpose of advertising lingerie, so the skimpy outfits are not only justified, but an absolute necessity. This is an airline using women's bodies to get people to buy tickets. They're fundamentally different situations.

Wow Ben, didnt expect this from you. Please dont tell me youre becoming one of those easily offended/feminists/ SJW annoying people..... Remember fun? Lets just all have a good laugh and move on. If it were Shawn Mendes you'd be sweating of excitement, which to me is gross...and a big "no". Happy New Year.

Women are only being objectified when they are at an inferior status, burying their sexuality yet at the same time wearing revealing clothes. All I can see from the commercial is that how they empower themself with fierce red lipsticks, pretentious lofty walking and smoky glare burning in their dilated pupils. They embrace their sexuality. Kind of remind me of Max Black from 2 broke girls. Victoria’s secret seems to be more degrading than it. Even with that being said, I say “yes” to the commercial but a big “hell NO” to Thai Vietjet runway show. It is merely a cheesy, lack of substance, high attitute gimmick.

I'd rather have an experienced, talented friendly flight attendant, chosen to be authoritative and calm and cool in an emergency than someone whose job skill consists of little more than how well do you they look in a bikini. Remember that cell phone video of the Emirates flight burning into flames while the panicking passengers were all stopping to get their bags out of the overhead bins, while the flight attendants were trying to evacuate? How much is a bikini model flight attendant going to help in that situation? It's just demeaning. And I'm a guy.
