EasyJet confirms date when flights will stop from Leeds Bradford Airport

EasyJet has confirmed it is scrapping flights from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) from the start of next year.

The operator, which offers a small number of weekly flights from LBA, said it will no longer operate flights to and from the airport from January 5, 2027.

EasyJet offers flights to Barcelona, Malaga, Paris, Mallorca and Geneva, but said in a statement on August 19 it is removing all journeys to “focus on maintaining and developing routes which prove most popular”.

Customers with easyJet bookings from LBA beyond January 5 2027 have been offered a free transfer to flights from an alternative airport or a refund, the airline said.

EasyJet have not yet confirmed whether all scheduled flights to its destinations from LBA will go ahead.

An EasyJet spokesman 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.”

EasyJet began flights from Leeds Bradford in 2010.
