easyJet axes Leeds Bradford Airport routes from January 2027

Passengers booked on flights after January 5 will be able to claim refunds

easyJet has announced it will cease operating flights from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) from next year.

The airline, which currently runs a limited number of weekly services from the airport, confirmed the decision following a review of its routes.

Customers with existing bookings for travel after the cut-off date will be contacted directly by easyJet. They will be offered the choice of a full refund or a free transfer to flights departing from an alternative airport.

A spokesperson for easyJet said: “Following a review of our routes from Leeds Bradford Airport, we have made the decision to no longer operate flights from the airport after 5 January. Our focus is on maintaining and developing routes which prove most popular with customers.

“We have contacted customers with bookings beyond this date to provide them with advance notice and inform them of their options, including a free transfer to flights from an alternative airport or a refund, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

“We value the relationship we have built with Leeds Bradford Airport and we always keep options for our network under review, with the aim of providing more choice and connectivity where we see demand.”
