Value of Vietnam's 'bikini airline' overtakes state carrier
Vietnamese private budget airline VietJet's market capitalisation surpassed that of state-owned Vietnam Airlines on Monday, only a week after it was listed.

VietJet is known as the "bikini airline" as its flight attendants wear bikinis as uniform on some flights.
