Summer flight schedule 2023: Three new destinations on short and medium-haul routes
- 65 short-haul destinations in 21 countries
- Akureyri (North Iceland), Biarritz and Bari new to the program
- The broad offer to Greece and the Canary Islands is further strengthened
Edelweiss, the leading Swiss leisure airline, is expanding its route network for the 2023 summer schedule with three destinations: Akureyri (Northern Iceland), Biarritz, and Bari. Akureyri is the ideal starting point for exploring Iceland's highlights and can also be perfectly combined with flights to Keflavik. Flights to the airport in the north of the country are available every Friday. Biarritz, a surfing and bathing paradise on the Atlantic in western France, impresses with its fascinating architecture. Those planning to visit the Basque Country can ideally combine Biarritz with the existing destination of Bilbao. Flights to Biarritz start in June and operate every Tuesday and Friday. Bari is the capital of Apulia and is considered a perfect starting point for exploring and enjoying this exciting region. A round trip offers additional highlights such as the Amalfi Coast. Bari will be served every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday starting in April.
More destinations during summer flight schedule
For the first time in the summer schedule, Boa Vista and Sal in Cape Verde will be served; the season will be extended beyond the winter until the end of June. Amman and Aqaba in Jordan, which will be added to the schedule in February 2023, will also be served in the summer schedule. Edelweiss will offer a total of 65 short-haul destinations in 21 countries in summer 2023. Compared to the 2019 summer schedule, 19 short-haul destinations have been added and three destinations have been dropped.
