Norwich International Airport has revealed a new destination for its winter 2016-17 flight schedule.
The route to the French Alps resort of Chambéry, close to the border with Switzerland, will begin in mid-December and os the first winter ski flight from Norwich since 2010.
The announcement of the new route, which will be operated by Flybe, follows the start of year-round flights to Alicante, Malaga and Exeter last month.
The Chambéry flight, which will be on Saturday, will be served by one of Flybe's E195 118-seater jet aircraft, and is the product of a partnership between the airline and Regional & City Airports (RCA), the airport management division of Rigby Group PLC, which owns Norwich Airport.
Richard Pace, general manager at Norwich Airport, said: 'The partnership between RCA and Flybe means the new sunshine routes will operate year-round and we are delighted to be adding the popular ski resort of Chambéry to our winter schedule.
