Easyjet is launching three new ski routes this winter, connecting Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, Edinburgh and Glasgow International Airports with the popular ski destination of Geneva. On 15 December, Easyjet will begin operating daily flights from Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield and Edinburgh to Geneva, whilst a weekly Saturday service from Glasgow to the gateway of the Alps will commence on 17 December.

Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield is a new addition to the Easyjet network, and the airline joins Ryanair and Thomsonfly in offering flights from the Yorkshire hub.These are also the first new routes for Easyjet from Glasgow since 2001 and Edinburgh since 2002.

The daily Edinburgh service is a result of investment from the Scottish Executive, in the form of the route development fund. This is a scheme introduced to support new direct air links which will bring economic benefit to Scotland.

It is also good to see Easyjet at last expanding their network of flights from Scotland's two major hubs in Edinburgh and Glasgow, al
