About Snowjet

October 22nd, 2008 - Posted by: Powder Monkey

Snowjet, the ski flight specialist, was launched in 2007 and caters for independently minded skiers, who prefer not to book a package holiday.  We currently offer flights to Chambéry in the French Alps and to Sion in the Swiss Alps. We fly exclusively to these smaller alpine airports so, you can fly closer to, and ski longer in, your favourite resorts.

 Chambéry airport, known as The Gateway to the Alps, is the local airport for Meribel, Val d’Isere, Tignes, Courchevel, Val Thorens, les Arcs and La Plagne. Snowjet flights to Chambéry operate out of London Gatwick, London Stansted and Bristol throughout the ski season.

In 2009 Snowjet launched an exclusive  scheduled service from the UK to Sion airport. And for winter 10/11, due to popular demand, we have increased the frequency of our Sion flights to three times a week on peak dates.  Flights to Sion offer huge time savings on transfers to top Swiss ski resorts, including Verbier, Zermatt, Saas Fee, Villars, Crans Montana and Nendaz. What’s more, Sion airport handles only a low volume of passengers, which means you won’t have a long wait at baggage reclaim or check-in and you can be on your way faster.

It was thanks to the purchase of Snowjet by our largest airline partner, Titan Airways – one of the UK’s most successful and prestigious charter airlines, that we were able to successfully launch the Sion route  and with their backing we look foward to being able to bring you more exciting routes in the future.  

 Going forwards all Snowjet flights will be operated by Titan Airways jet fleet. Flights to Sion are operated on BAE 146 aircraft with 80 seats and flights to Chambery on either Boeing 737-300 aircraft with 130 seats or Boeing 757-200 aircraft with 198 seats. Fewer seats on board means that with Snowjet you get a spacious minimum 31 inch seat pitch, ensuring you have plenty of leg room and you arrive ski-ready.
