Jet2.com launches Winter ski programme at Manchester Airport

British airline Jet2.com has announced its biggest ski programme to date with six destinations available from Manchester Airport this winter.

The carrier will offer up to 20 flights each week to skiing hotspots in Geneva, Grenoble, Lyon, Salzburg, Turin and Andorra near Barcelona.

In total, over 100k seats will be available for holidaymakers looking to take to some of Europe’s most popular slopes.

The chief exec of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, Steve Heapy, said: “We fly to more ski destinations from Manchester Airport than any other operator, with flights to six top ski destinations on our award-winning airline.

“People’s minds are obviously turning to the slopes, as we have seen a jump in ski bookings in September which bodes well for the season ahead.”

He continued: “Weekend breaks are proving increasingly popular so we have accommodated this by putting on more flights to suit weekend skiers, including two flights on Saturdays and Sundays, making it easier than ever to head to the Alps for a short ski break.

“With these friendly flight times, alongside 22kg of baggage and ski allowance, we’re confident of a very busy and popular ski season this winter.”
