Vietjet - best known for its bikini-clad air hostesses - came under fire for sending models in barely-there costumes to join the footballers heading home from China, where the team suffered a crushing defeat against Uzbekistan in the Under-23 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Championship on Saturday.
