Scott Britton, Head of Crystal Ski Holidays, said:

“We’re really pleased to be introducing this new Cardiff to Turin flight, as it gives our customers in Wales more choice for their winter ski holiday. Italy is a firm favourite for our customers, so we’re excited that more skiers and snowboarders will be able to access some of Italy’s most loved resorts, with the ease of travelling from their local airport.”

Jon Bridge, CEO of Cardiff Airport, said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to see Crystal Ski Holidays expanding its programme from Cardiff Airport with the introduction of Turin as an exciting new destination. For our customers who love flying local, this is fantastic news, offering the ease of a seamless Airport experience close to home, followed by a magical getaway to the slopes of northern Italy. Turin is a superb addition to our growing ski portfolio, giving travellers across Wales even more choice and flexibility, whether they’re heading straight for the mountains or taking time to explore this beautiful Italian city. With even more popular Crystal Ski Holiday destinations now available from Cardiff, customers can start their winter escape the moment they arrive at the Airport. We look forward to welcoming more travellers choosing Cardiff as their gateway to the slopes and beyond.”
