Snowjet No Longer On Sale To Public - Travel Packages Only

From May 2012 Snowjet stopped selling flights direct to the public. They will concentrate on offering Tour Operator package flights.
So, for independent travellers heading to Valais, it's Geneva, Zurich or a TGV to Lausanne FNO.

Empty seats and under filled flights I imagine.
Sign of the times.

I hope these guys dont go under as they provide excellent flights on well furbished aircraft.

I looked several times over the last couple of years at the price of flights with Snowjet to Sion ....... to sum up Bloody expensive !!!!!!!

It might not be too bad if they let you book seats like the charters from Gatwick to Sion. We've traveled to Sion as flight-only with Neilson, and the price was reasonable, if not the cheapest. But yo do need to book early.

£79 each way when i looked

I didn't know these guys existed. Would have come in useful a couple of seasons ago. Shame.

I am informed that the lead singer of Iron Maiden flies one of their planes.
Mental.

Don't think so.

He used to fly for Astraeus Airlines until they went bust late last year (see The Grundian) and is now involved with a new aircraft maintenance operation at the former RAF base of St.Athan (according to The Beeb a few weeks ago).

Talented guy who's led an interesting life by any standards... though I don't know if he skis.

Back on topic... shame about snowjet, especially as I never did get round to flying into Sion! Hopefully they can make a go of things with the TOs but that's a tough market at the moment I'd have thought.
