Leeds Bradford Airport announces new direct flights to Barcelona
Leeds Bradford Airport has announced new direct flights to Barcelona.
The flights will be operated by easyJet and depart from the airport twice a week.
The airport said the new route will help to strengthen “Yorkshire’s international connectivity" and offer travellers "even greater access to sun, culture and fine cuisine”.
John Cunliffe, commercial director at Leeds Bradford Airport, said:
We’re thrilled to welcome another exciting destination to our growing list of easyJet routes. Barcelona is one of Europe’s most iconic cities and has lots to offer for all travellers – from beach escapes and iconic landmarks to world class dancing and dining.
The introduction of this service brings even more convenient options for passengers across Yorkshire, which is something we continually strive to deliver.
Flights to Barcelona from Leeds Bradford will start from October 29 and are scheduled to depart each Wednesday at 8.40am and Saturdays at 1.40pm to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport.
The new Barcelona launch follows easyJet’s recent introduction of flights to Paris, Palma and Malaga earlier this year.
The move also comes as the airport opened its new £100 million terminal extension to passengers last week.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said:
We are really pleased to be adding a new route from Leeds Bradford this winter, offering a culture rich city break. It’s a fantastic destination for winter breaks for our customers from across the North-West and offers customers greater choice and exceptional value, while we always aim to make travel easy.
