Crystal Ski Holidays has expanded its Norway programme for customers in the Midlands, with the launch of a new charter flight from Birmingham Airport to Oslo Gardermoen for the winter 2026-27 season.

The new, exclusive route will be served by TUI Airways, with the first departure scheduled for Sunday, 13th December 2026, and the last outbound departure on 14th February 2027. The weekly flight will complement the existing TUI routes from London Gatwick to Oslo and Manchester to Oslo.
Adding Norway provides more choice for Crystal customers based in and around Birmingham, with the new route opening up the resorts of Gausta, Norefjell, Geilo and Beitostølen.
Great for beginners and families, Norway is home to wide, quiet slopes. Cosy log cabins are dotted among forests and there are plenty of excellent off-slope activities such as ice fishing, snowmobiling and the chance to see the Northern Lights.
Scott Britton, Head of Crystal Ski Holidays, commented: “We’re excited to be growing our Norway programme from Birmingham with this new route, giving our customers based in the Midlands more choice when it comes to their ski holidays.
Demand for Norway keeps climbing and customers love it as it’s filled with fun activities and snow-globe scenery. Expanding choice and flexibility is key, and we can’t wait to welcome travellers next season to enjoy more unforgettable moments both on and off the slopes.”
Trevor de Villiers, CEO of Norway Home of Skiing, said: “We’re really proud to add this third weekly charter service from Birmingham, so that more UK travellers can experience our Norway Home of Skiing resorts.
”This comes off the back of huge demand from Brits for Norwegian ski holidays thanks to our reliable snow cover and great value for money for ski-in, ski-out accommodation and lift passes. And as the ultimate winter wonderland holiday destination, there’s plenty to do beyond the slopes, making it a great choice for beginners and families.”
