The airline is focusing on ‘maintaining and developing’ its ‘most popular’ routes

EasyJet has said it will cease operating all flights out of Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA).

The low-cost carrier revealed it will pull out of the airport next January in order to concentrate on expanding and supporting its highest-demand routes elsewhere.

Passengers using LBA currently have access to destinations including Barcelona, Paris, Belfast, Malaga, Mallorca, and Geneva. However, all these services will come to a halt from 5 January 2027.

Customers who hold bookings with the airline after that date are being offered full refunds or the option to rebook onto alternative flights departing from a different airport at no additional cost, reports The Mirror.

EasyJet has not yet clarified if every remaining flight scheduled to depart from LBA up until January will operate as planned.

A check of the airline’s website showed that services from Leeds Bradford to Geneva are no longer available for booking. Meanwhile, flights bound for Malaga and Mallorca appear to end after November, though journeys to Barcelona, Paris, and Belfast remain bookable up until the January cut-off.

An EasyJet spokesperson 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.”
