Edelweiss offers additional flights for autumn, holidays and sports holidays

Edelweiss is further expanding its services for the upcoming autumn and winter season. After the leisure airline announced additional flights, longer seasons, and increased capacity for the 2026/27 winter schedule in July, further expansions are now being announced. This will benefit sun-seekers as well as guests traveling abroad for Christmas or those wishing to experience the winter magic of Finnish Lapland during the school holidays.

More capacity for autumn holidays by the sea

In October, Edelweiss is increasing capacity on several popular holiday routes. On Fridays and Sundays from October to mid-November, Edelweiss will deploy the significantly larger Airbus A340 to Gran Canaria. This will provide considerably more seats on these flights. An Airbus A340 will also be used on Monday flights to Tenerife and Saturday flights to Rhodes in October. Rhodes will also have an additional flight on October 30th.

Significantly more capacity is also available for travel to Crete: Saturday flights to Heraklion will be operated with the larger Airbus A350 instead of an Airbus A320. Furthermore, the destination will be served until the beginning of December.

Edelweiss will expand its service to Mallorca in October with several additional flights and larger aircraft. This creates extra travel options for those who want to extend their summer under the southern sun.

Additional flights over Christmas and New Year

Edelweiss is further expanding its long-haul flight offerings for the particularly popular travel period around Christmas and New Year's. From December 14, 2026, to January 11, 2027, Cape Town will have an additional flight every Monday. This provides guests with more travel options to South Africa over the holiday season.

There are also additional travel options to popular island destinations in the Indian Ocean. Malé in the Maldives will be served every Sunday from December 20, 2026, to January 10, 2027. Edelweiss will offer additional flights to the Seychelles and Mauritius every Friday from December 18, 2026, to January 8, 2027. This creates more opportunities to spend the holidays on white sandy beaches under the tropical sun.

Even more winter magic in Finnish Lapland

During the winter school holidays, Edelweiss is further expanding its already significantly enhanced service to Finnish Lapland. From February 5th to March 5th, 2027, Kittilä will have an additional flight every Friday. From February 2nd to March 2nd, 2027, a new connection to Rovaniemi will also be offered on Tuesdays.

Whether it's the Northern Lights, snow-covered forests, reindeer safaris or winter sports: with the additional flights, guests have even more opportunities to discover the Nordic winter during the sports holidays.

These additions complement the expansion of the winter flight schedule 2026/27, which was already announced in July. Flights can now be booked on flyedelweiss.com and via the usual booking channels.
