BUDGET airline EasyJet is pulling all of its services out of Leeds-Bradford Airport in the New Year meaning the end of three routes to Spain.
That means that connections to Barcelona, Malaga, and Palma de Mallorca will cease as from January.
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 January 5.”

“Our focus is on maintaining and developing routes which prove most popular with customers.”
The move to quit the West Yorkshire airport comes after EasyJet increased summer capacity this year.
It had planed two weekly flights to Barcelona during the forthcoming winter season, along with limited services to Malaga and Mallorca.
Services to the Catalan capital had only been introduced during last winter.
The good news for travellers is that other carriers will continue to fly to Spain during the 2026/27 winter season.
Jet2.com will serve Barcelona, Malaga, and Mallorca, while Ryanair will maintain its services from Leeds-Bradford to Malaga and Mallorca.
EasyJet is a relatively small operator at the Yorkshire airport, with it accounting for just over 3% of the facility’s capacity.
Figures for Jet2 and Ryanair combined show that they account for 83.5% of capacity at the airport.
