Vietnamese Female Billionaire's Non Halal Airline ! !

A Woman Created a Bikini Airline and Became Vietnam's First Female Billionaire

April 14, 2016

Meet Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vietnam's first female self-made billionaire. Much of her net worth comes from her company VietJet Air, which on its website calls itself a "dynamic, innovative airline." But some might have other words for what it is her company is doing.

Indeed, VietJet isn't known so much for its CEO as it is its bikinied flight attendants. It's a uniform Thao insists is empowering for women in such a conservative country. 

"As a businesswoman, I have a responsibility to contribute to the economy and to push for positive changes of the country and in the society, in light of the international integration that's happening," Thao told Bloomberg. 

"You have the right to wear anything you like, either the bikini or the traditional ao dai," she added, with the ao dai being a long tunic traditionally worn in Vietnam. 

VietJet Air currently has 47 destinations in Vietnam and around Asia, according to Bloomberg. It also has more than 30% of Vietnam's flying market share, Bloomberg reported, and it could very well become the nation's biggest airline. 

My comments : Our halal airline has just been suspended from operations. I dont know if they will take off to the skies again. 

VietJet has captured 30% of Vietnam's market. This is a country of 100 million people. They have embraced free market forces and capitalism.

Uncle Ho will be spinning in his grave. Is this what he lived, fought and died for?

Here is a saying by Syed Akbar Ali :  "It is easier to send off a 100 young men to war than to create a 100 new jobs when they return from the war".

Madam Nguyen Thi Puong Thao says :  "in light of the international integration that's happening"

The world has changed drastically and will continue to change. Those who will secure happiness (the aim in life) are those who can detect the changes and accomodate to the changes.  People must find their own levels.

Some people worship money.

Some people worship objects, usually made of stone.

Many do both. The desired outcome is the same : to secure happiness.

When you fly in an airplane you can see beyond the horizon. Beyond that is just space.  Our happiness has to be found within our horizon.  All flights must land.
