-cost Irish airline Ryanair has launched its annual charity calendar featuring scantily-clad female staff as models.
The airline is hoping to raise more than $150,000 with the 2010 calendar, and all proceeds will go to KIDS, an organization that provides support for disabled children and their families across Britain, a story by the Telegraph reported. Although the airline has been accused of "sexualizing" the airline industry, this is the third year for the calendar. So far, the calendars have raised close to $500,000 for charity, according to the airline Web site.
A spokesman for Ryanair told the Telegraph that 800 of the 4,000 cabin crew members applied to be in the calendar. It will be sold on flights and on the airline's Web site.
