POWDAIR: Startup Airline to Swiss Ski Resorts Will Offer Season Passes
By Simon Calder/ Travel Correspondent/ Indy/Go/ Independent/ independent.co.uk
"Powdair promises season tickets for frequent skiers.
Southend to Saas-Fee, Manchester to Crans-Montana and Edinburgh to Zermatt: skiers have been promised easier access to top Swiss winter sports resorts this winter from six UK airports.
A new start-up airline called Powdair plans to connect Bristol, Edinburgh, Luton, Manchester, Southampton and Southend with the small airport of Sion in south-west Switzerland. Sion is capital of the canton of Valais, and is also convenient for the ski resorts of Verbier and Nendaz.
The carrier says: “Gone are the days of flying into one of Switzerland’s much busier airports before embarking on a two or three hour transfer journey to your destination.”
Powdair is based in Dublin, set up by “a group of successful businessmen and savvy investors, who also happen to love skiing.
The type of plane has not yet been finalised, with Powdair saying: “We are using either the Embraer 170, a 76 seat regional jet or Embraer 190 seating 106 passengers depending on demand.”..."
