The enhanced schedule offers travelers an unprecedented range of appealing vacation spots, reinforcing the airline’s position as Switzerland’s leading leisure carrier.

The European network grows with the addition of Tbilisi, Georgia’s historic capital, serving passengers twice weekly from April 12, while Bristol joins as a key UK destination with twice-weekly flights commencing June 2.

Mediterranean and Atlantic Destinations See Major Boost
The Mediterranean region receives particular attention from Edelweiss, with enhanced connectivity to Sardinia, featuring new daily flights to both Olbia and Cagliari, offering travelers flexible access to the island’s stunning beaches and rich culture.
Portuguese destinations also benefit from substantial service improvements. Faro receives up to six weekly flights and Madeira enjoys up to eight weekly connections.
