EasyJet bound for ski slopes

A NEW winter route has been launched from Edinburgh Airport to a French ski destination.

EasyJet will fly twice a week to Grenoble, adding to already established flights to Lyon and Geneva. The new service will operate on Saturdays and Sundays until April 15.

Hugh Aitken, EasyJet’s commercial manager for Scotland, said the route was “a great addition to our winter portfolio”.

He added: “Current sales figures demonstrate that there is a real appetite amongst Scots to head off for a winter ski break.”
