A holiday operator has announced new flights to Turkey and Croatia from Leeds Bradford Airport following the closure of Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
TUI said it would now operate flights to Antalya and Dalaman, both in Turkey, and Dubrovnik in Croatia from Leeds-Bradford.
The airport, which is used by people across the Harrogate district, described the announcement as “exciting news”.

TUI added the destinations from LBA after it was announced that Doncaster Sheffield Airport would close.
The last flights are due in November and the new Leeds Bradford destinations are expected to start in summer next year.
The holiday operator has also increased flights at Manchester and East Midlands airports following the decision.
Peel Group, which owns DSA, announced the closure after it said the airport was "not viable due to its lack of adequate forward revenues and high operating costs”.
