EasyJet Cuts Leeds Bradford From Its Network | Aviation Week

EasyJet will withdraw from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) starting Jan. 5, 2027, ending services to Belfast International (BFS), Barcelona El Prat (BCN), Malaga (AGP), Palma de Mallorca (PMI) and Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). The airline said none of those cities will lose nonstop connectivity from LBA under currently filed winter schedules. EasyJet’s spokesperson attributed the decision to a review of routes, saying the carrier will focus on services “most popular with customers.” The withdrawal reverses prior growth at LBA, where EasyJet added destinations during 2026 and increased summer capacity 35.8% year over year to about 65,000 seats, with frequencies rising from 292 to 385. Still, EasyJet remains a small player at LBA with about 3.3% capacity share in summer 2026, behind Jet2, Ryanair, Aer Lingus and KLM.
