Aviation industry analysts at Cirium predict flight numbers from the UK to Europe’s ski resorts will mostly exceed February 2019 levels.
"In Austria, the popular ski gateway of Innsbruck is scheduled to see 8% more UK flights this February compared to 2019, while Salzburg will also see 11% more UK flights than pre-pandemic. The lesser-known city of Klagenfurt will see a huge 50% uplift in UK arrivals as tourists head for the slopes," Cirium said.
The number of scheduled flights to Chambery in France and to Milan-Malpensa and Bergamo in northern Italy are also up, Cirium said, though flights into Geneva, Switzerland's ski holiday gateway, are down.
The ski numbers come as scheduled departures from the UK are projected to hit 81% of February 2019 levels, with over 60,600 flights scheduled to depart during the month – equating to over 10.7 million seats, according to Cirium.
