EasyJet will end all operations from Leeds Bradford airport in January after 16 years of flights from the West Yorkshire aviation hub.
The budget airline announced that all flights will “no longer operate” to or from the base from 5 January 2027.
EasyJet currently operates routes from Leeds Bradford to destinations including Barcelona, Belfast, Mallorca, Malaga and Paris.
The airline first launched flights from Leeds to Geneva in 2010.
Flights scheduled from now until 5 January will continue to operate as scheduled.
An easyJet 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.”
Customers with bookings beyond January have been contacted by the airline and offered a free transfer to flights from an alternative airport or a refund.
The airline apologised for the inconvenience caused, adding “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”.
Wizz Air, Jet2 and Ryanair all still actively operate flights from Leeds airport.
The Independent has contacted Leeds Bradford airport for comment.
In May, Jet2 announced two new weekly routes to Preveza and Santorini from Leeds Bradford.
Declan Maguire, Aviation Director at the airport, said: “Expanding our route network with Jet2 to include Preveza and Santorini for summer 2027 gives Yorkshire even more choice when planning the perfect getaway. From the scenic coastline of Preveza to the iconic appeal of Santorini, these additions bring something new and exciting to Leeds Bradford Airport’s portfolio.
“Variety really is the spice of life, and this network development is all about giving Yorkshire greater choice, flexibility and inspiration for their next trip.”
