Bassam Jarbouai, Director Grenoble Alpes Isère said:
”Grenoble Airport is a gateway to the French Alps, allowing you to land right next to the nearest ski resorts. The Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport, managed by VINCI Airports, specializes in the treatment of passengers going to ski (provides with dedicated ski mats, training of personnel etc.). The gateway to the French Alps offers possibilities for direct and fast access to the largest ski areas thanks to its numerous bus shuttles, and also by helicopter or limousine for either business customers or for those desiring tailor-made services. These efficient services allow passengers to optimize their travel time thus making the most of their stay.”
Jūratė Baltrušaitytė, Chief Commercial Officer at Lithuanian airports said:
“We are glad that the flight from Vilnius to already the third city of France has further extended the destinations of flights offered for winter and summer seasons. I am sure that those who are fond of skiing were pleased to hear about the flights to Grenoble which will make the ski runs in the Alps even more accessible for them now. Grenoble is also deservedly named as the students’ city – quite many Lithuanian students study here with exchange programs; therefore, we believe that the popularity of this destination will rapidly increase.”
