EasyJet has announced that it will be no longer operating out of Leeds Bradford Airport.
As of January 5 next year, all flights will be halted, with customers who have bookings after this date set to be informed and given alternative options.
EasyJet currently flies from Leeds Bradford to destinations such as Belfast, Paris, Malaga, Barcelona and Majorca.
A 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.
Other airlines still operating from Leeds Bradford include Ryanair and Jet2.
The announcement comes just two weeks after easyJet confirmed a £5.7 billion takeover by private equity firm Apollo.
