EasyJet will cease all flights from Leeds Bradford Airport next month after a review of its route network. The airline's final services will begin January 5, marking the end of five current routes: Palma de Mallorca, Málaga, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Barcelona, and Belfast. EasyJet chose to focus on routes with the strongest customer demand.
Passengers with bookings after January 5 are receiving offers for a free transfer to another easyJet departure airport or a full refund. The carrier regrets the disruption and emphasized that all scheduled flights will continue as usual until the closure date. EasyJet expressed appreciation for its relationship with Leeds Bradford Airport but will continue evaluating future opportunities.
The decision reduces passenger choices from the regional airport, despite eight other airlines still operating there, such as Ryanair and Jet2. EasyJet's withdrawal follows its acquisition by private-equity firm Apollo for £5.7 billion. The carrier has faced financial challenges, including higher jet-fuel costs and weakened passenger bookings, leading to a 70% profit decline.
Customers affected by route closures should await direct communication from easyJet regarding rebooking and refund options.
