SEXY hostesses have taken off plenty for the debut of a new airline — called Hooters Air.
Cabin girls wore tight vests and hotpants on the maiden flight of the US service which calls itself “delightfully tacky”.
Boss Robert Brooks, who already has a chain of 330 Hooters restaurants, said: “We aim to bring fun back to flying. We’re politically incorrect and everyone knows it.”
Robert hopes to lure golfers and other sportsmen away from rival airlines with £80 flights from Atlanta to the resort town of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
But analyst Henry Harte-veldt called it a “stupid idea” at a time when some airlines are struggling.
