Oxford college may take name of Vietnam's 'bikini airline'

A graduate college at Oxford University could be renamed after a Vietnamese billionaire whose budget airline staffed its inaugural flights with bikini-clad air hostesses. Linacre College said this week it would change its name to Thao College, after a “transformative donation” of £155 million ($211 million) from the SOVICO group, headed by Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao.
