London: They're the low-cost airline that make their money through extra charges. But Ryanair cabin crew are giving back - by stripping off.
The female flight attendants took time out from wearing their uniform to pose for the latest charity calendar.
The 2012 Ryanair Cabin Crew Charity Calendar features 13 cabin crew wearing lingerie and bikinis as they pose in various locations the Daily Mail reported.
The girls selected the ‘Butterfly Children’ of the DEBRA charity from over 400 applicants to receive all proceeds this year.
DEBRA will enable 50 families from throughout Europe, with children who suffer from the debilitating epidermolysis bullosa skin condition, to enjoy a respite week in DEBRA’s specially adapted holiday accommodation in Malaga, Spain.
The airline hopes to raise up to £85,000, bringing the total raised by Ryanair’s cabin crew to £430,000 since the first calendar was published in 2008.
The calendar is available onboard flights, on ryanair.com and from DEBRA’s Irish and Spanish charity shops (and websites) for £8.50, with all proceeds going directly to help children and families living with the EB condition.
DEBRA’S Chief Executive, Jimmy Fearon, said:' 'We are delighted Ryanair’s cabin crew chose to partner with DEBRA for the 2012 Ryanair Cabin Crew Charity Calendar.
'We thank everyone at Ryanair on behalf of our volunteers and those who help make the lives of these beautiful children a little easier.
'Ryanair’s 2012 Cabin Crew Calendar donation will help us to deliver a once in a lifetime opportunity for 50 families to enjoy a holiday, with professional care and assistance on hand to allow parents and children time to rest and enjoy their precious time together.'
