The Swiss airline Edelweiss is planning to expand its flight offerings in spring 2025. With new non-stop connections to popular holiday destinations and an extended winter season to Lapland, the company wants to respond to the increasing demand and offer its guests more flexibility and comfort. Particular attention is being paid to the use of the Airbus A340 on selected short-haul routes, which will noticeably increase capacity.
For winter sports and adventure lovers who want to explore fascinating Lapland, Edelweiss is extending the winter season until just before Easter. In March and April 2025, additional connections will be offered to the popular destinations Rovaniemi, Kittilä and Ivalo.
Rovaniemi, known as the home of Santa Claus, will be served with additional flights on March 31 and April 3 and 7. Kittilä, a starting point for numerous winter sports activities, will also receive additional connections on March 31 and April 7. Edelweiss will offer additional flights to Ivalo, Finland's northernmost airport, on March 28 and April 4 and 11. With these expanded options, Edelweiss aims to give guests more flexibility and a wider choice of travel times.
New non-stop connections to popular holiday destinations
From April 2025, Edelweiss will be adding additional non-stop flights to popular holiday regions in Italy, Morocco and Greece to its route network. Instead of the previous triangular connections, direct flights will now be offered to shorten travel times and increase comfort.
Direct flights will be available to Catania in Sicily and Lamezia in Calabria on Mondays and Thursdays. Edelweiss is responding to the growing demand for travel to the south of Italy, a region known for its stunning coastline and cultural heritage.
Morocco will also be in the spotlight from April. Marrakesh and Agadir, two of the country's most popular destinations, will be served non-stop on Wednesdays. For travelers who love the Greek islands, there will be additional non-stop connections to Kos and Rhodes from April, every Thursday.
Airbus A340 provides increased capacity
To meet the increased demand for holiday flights, Edelweiss is also using the Airbus A340, a long-haul aircraft with a higher seating capacity, on selected short-haul routes.
Gran Canaria will be served every Thursday with the Airbus A3 from April 1 to May 2025, 340. In addition, Faro, a popular destination in the Portuguese Algarve, will be served with additional flights on March 20 and 27.
Edelweiss is expanding its service to Hurghada in Egypt with additional flights on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. The route network to Cyprus is also being expanded, with Larnaka being better connected in April and May with additional night flights on Thursdays.
