Leeds Bradford Airport begins flights to Porto and Perpignan

Leeds Bradford Airport has begun flights to Porto in Portugal and Perpignan in France.

The first flights ever to these destinations from Leeds Bradford took to the skies yesterday.

The airport has a record 80 destinations on its schedule for 2023/2024.

The Perpignan route is handy for rugby league fans as the Catalan Dragons’ stadium is a six-minute drive from Perpignan Airport.

Porto has become a popular city break for holidaymakers due to its culture and gastronomy in a coastal setting.

Flights to Perpignan and Porto will operate until the end of October this year.

Nicola McMullen, aviation director at Leeds Bradford Airport, said:

“These new routes have already sold incredibly well and we’re sure that both routes will continue to be popular alongside our wider schedule throughout the year.”
