New ski route from Southend Airport
Fledgling Swiss Airline Powdair says it will be flying skiers from Southend Airport twice a week from December.
According to its post on Twitter, the airline – which is dedicated to those who love to ski – will fly into Sion Airport, which currently doubles as both a civilian and military airport, just two miles from nearest ski lift.
The company has already said its flights will dramatically cut the transfer time – and so the cost – for skiers who want to get on the slopes quickly.
The Financial Times told earlier this year how the company’s first flights will be operated by Trade Air, a Croatian airline, while Powdair pursues its own Air Operator Certificate.
Southend Airport have yet to confirm the new route.
