With the many new and repeat low-cost flights dedicated to ski destinations, Turin airport is relaunching its bet on snow-related traffic. The airport has already handled some 56,000 foreign skiers in the first nine weeks of operations.
Many new flights to ski destinations
Many of the new ski routes and airlines are in addition to those previously operated on Caselle Airport. In fact, starting with the 2021-22 winter season, Ryanair will offer five new ski routes from Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, London Luton, and Shannon. In addition it has increased its frequencies from Dublin, which have gone from one to three flights per week. In the summer of 2022, routes to Dublin and Edinburgh will also be introduced.
Other routes are back to normal
Wizz Air's Warsaw route has been confirmed as have Jet2.com's Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Manchester routes, and easyJet's Bristol, London Gatwick, London Luton, and Manchester routes have also restarted. Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, London Gatwick, Manchester, and Newcastle are connected by charter flights, as are Gothenburg, Malmo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Dublin, Helsinki, and Warsaw.
A fast recovery to ski destinations
The main reference markets for the Turin Airport snow segment, namely the United Kingdom (from which 74% of skiers arrive), Ireland (14%), Scandinavia (10%, divided between Denmark, Finland, and Sweden), and Poland (2%), have thus been confirmed to be stable. This is also thanks to the fact that some countries have relaxed restrictions, allowing a faster recovery of traffic to ski destinations.
Favourite ski resorts in Italy
While the British market prefers packaged ski holidays to Sauze d'Oulx, Cervinia, and Sestrières, as well as Bardonecchia, Clavière, La Thuile, and Pila, Scandinavians prefer Cervinia, Sauze d'Oulx, Champoluc, and Courmayeur. Furthermore, a sizable number of passengers travel across the Alps to the nearest French ski resorts.
