Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has announced it will host a new ski programme to Sofia Bulgaria from Winter 2025 with Balkan Holidays

Leeds Bradford Airport has announced new weekly direct flights to Bulgaria as part of a ski programme.

The airport will fly to Sofia from winter 2024/25 in a partnership with Balkan Holidays.

Flights will depart on Saturdays at 14:45 from the airport, with return flights from Sofia on Saturdays at 21:05. This Balkan Holidays schedule will start in February 2025 and run weekly until March 15 2025.

Tom Holdsworth, aviation development manager at Leeds Bradford Airport, said:

“It’s fantastic to launch this new route with Balkan Holidays, which will give our passengers more choice and flexibility for their winter holidays.
"Bulgaria is a fantastic destination for ski lovers, offering great value for money and a variety of resorts to suit all levels of ability and preference. We look forward to welcoming skiers and snowboarders on board flights to Sofia next winter.”


Balkan Holidays offers winter sports holidays and summer beach holidays to Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia. Skiers can expect excellent slopes at resorts such as Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo.

Andy Jones, head of product and commercial at Balkan Holidays, added:

“We have been operating flights to Sofia for decades and we know that our customers love the destination. We are confident that this new route will be popular with the people of Yorkshire and we can't wait to start flying from Leeds Bradford Airport in February 2025.”


Tickets are on sale now, with more information available here.
