Crystal Ski Holidays expands coverage with more regional flights

Six new Tui Airways flights from regional airports are being added as Crystal Ski Holidays expands its winter 2027-28 programme.

New services are being introduced from Bournemouth, East Midlands and Belfast to Innsbruck, a new Bristol-Kuusamo route, alongside two new routes from Newcastle to Chambery and Toulouse-Blagnac.

The new flights will open up access to a range of resorts across Austria, Kuusamo (pictured), the French Alps as well as Andorra and the Spanish Pyrenees.

The new Innsbruck flights from Belfast, Bournemouth and East Midlands will operate weekly from December 20, 2027 until March 4, 2028.

Innsbruck offers access to Austrian resorts including Mayrhofen, Sölden, Obergurgl and Seefeld.

Toulouse-Blagnac will be served weekly from Newcastle from December 19, 2027 until  March 5, 2028, opening up access to Soldeu, Pas de la Casa, and Arinsal in Andorra as well as Baqueira-Beret in Spain.  

The new Newcastle-Chambery service will run weekly from December 21, 2027 until  April 1, 2028, providing a direct route to ski areas in the French Alps, including Meribel, Courchevel, Val d’Isere, Tignes and Les Menuires.

The Bristol-Kuusamo offers direct regional option to Finnish Lapland, including the Ruka area.

Head of Crystal Ski Holidays Scott Britton said: "We know customers are looking for ski holidays that are easy to book and easy to get to, which is why we’re continuing to expand our regional flying programme.

“These six new routes give our customers across the UK even more choice and flexibility when planning their trip, with convenient departures to some of Europe’s most popular ski regions, including Austria’s Tyrol, Kuusamo, the French Alps and the Pyrenees.

“For our trade partners, that means more options to match customers with the right holiday, while the convenience of having flights, accommodation, transfers and support wrapped into one package makes booking a ski holiday simpler than ever."
