Edelweiss will resume operations to several U.S. and Canadian destinations for the 2022 northern summer season, several of which it did not serve in 2021 due to health restrictions.
The Swiss airline will offer five destinations in the United States and Canada, although San Diego (SAN) and Orlando (MCO) will remain suspended for the time being.
Central America and the Caribbean will have seven destinations; South America operations will be suspended until next season including Rio de Janeiro (GIG) and Buenos Aires (EZE)-the latter having been taken over by SWISS.

Given the restrictions in Asia-Pacific, the airline has been able to successfully bid on the main vacation destinations of Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica, while it is also studying the launch of flights to Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ).
More destinations in Spain
Spain was one of the regions with the strongest recovery for Edelweiss during the 2021 summer season, which means that by 2022 it will expand its offering to 12 destinations between the Iberian Peninsula, Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands: Lanzarote (ACE), Fuerteventura (FUE), Jerez de la Frontera (XRY), Ibiza (IBZ), Gran Canaria (LPA), La Palma (SPC), Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Menorca (MAH), Santiago de Compostela (SVQ), Seville, Tenerife – South (TSF) and will add Bilbao (BIO) as of March 27 with three weekly flights, all operated on Airbus A320s.
By summer 2022 the airline will operate to 75 destinations in 32 countries and will operate 410 short-haul flights and 57 on long-haul routes, significantly increasing its offer compared to 2021.
