Jet2 gives ski fans a piste of the action with more flights from Manchester Airport

Jet2.com has announced more ski flights from Manchester Airport to the Italian ski destination and host of the 2006 Winter Olympics Turin.

The airline has added a second Saturday service to Turin from the end of December through to April.

The addition of a second Saturday service means that Jet2.com now has three weekly flights to Turin, with services also operating on Sundays. The addition of these flights means that the company now has over 17,000 Turin seats on sale from Manchester Airport this winter.

Key programme developments for winter 2017/18 from Manchester include:

Turin – now three weekend services, with two flights on a Saturday and one service on a Sunday
Geneva – Up to seven weekly flights including services on Monday, Thursday and Friday. More weekend choices with two flights on Saturdays and Sundays
Andorra (Barcelona) – Up to four weekly flights including services on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
Grenoble – three weekly services with flights on Saturday and Sunday
Salzburg – three weekly services with flights on Saturday and Sunday
Lyon – weekly Saturday service

The legacy of Turin’s 2006 Winter Olympics means that skiers can enjoy speedy transfers to well-established skiing resorts such as Pila, Vars, Le Corbier and Vald’Isere.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Our ski flights to Turin are proving to be enormously popular with skiers from Manchester Airport so we are putting on an extra weekend service in response to that demand. With friendly flight times on a weekend, alongside 22kg of baggage and ski allowance, we’re confident of very busy and popular ski flights to all of our ski destinations, including Turin, from Manchester Airport this winter.”
