    The transport company Transdev has begun its new bus service from Harrogate to Leeds Bradford Airport.

    The A2 Flyer bus, which replaced the 747 Flying Tiger service on Sunday, stops at local villages including Pannal, Huby and Poole-in-Wharfedale on the way to the airport. It also goes to Yeadon, Rawdon and Bradford.

    An airport return ticket, valid for 28 days, costs £8.90 for a single adult and £15 for a group.

    A seven-day ticket for one person costs £24 and a 28-day ticket costs £77.

    The buses offer free WiFi and every seat has a USB charging point.

    Transdev said in a statement the new route provided "a post-lockdown boost" to the regional economy.

    Chief executive Alex Hornby said:

    "We’re delighted to have secured a multi-year contract to introduce these amazing Flyer buses to Yorkshire. This new service is a very important element of our growth strategy and will attract new customers by creating buses that people are proud to be seen on."
