Edelweiss is strategically using the capacity freed up by adjustments to its route network to expand its services. This is in connection with the recently announced changes to its route network, including the discontinuation of services to Denver and Seattle.

Long-haul routes

From July 3, 2026, two new weekly flights to the Maldives will be offered. The flights will take place on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The route to Windhoek in Namibia will also be expanded. From July 15, 2026, Edelweiss will offer three new weekly flights. In addition to the existing Monday and Friday services, an extra flight will be operated on Wednesdays.

For autumn 2026, Edelweiss is also planning additional flights to holiday destinations in the Indian Ocean to meet the seasonally increased demand for beach holidays.

Short-haul routes

Edelweiss is expanding its short-haul flight offerings with additional capacity to popular holiday destinations. These include Faro, Gran Canaria, Palma de Mallorca, Newquay, Bergen, and Santiago de Compostela. Further adjustments to the short-haul schedule are being reviewed continuously.
