EasyJet to start Leeds Bradford-Barcelona service

A winter route between Leeds Bradford airport and Barcelona is being introduced by easyJet.

Return fares start at £50 on the service which will run twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Flights start on October 29 to Barcelona-El Prat airport.

The new route follows the budget airline introducing flights to Paris, Palma and Malaga from the airport earlier this year.

UK country manager Ali Gayward 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 northwest and offers customers greater choice and exceptional value, while we always aim to make travel easy.”

Leeds Bradford airport commercial director John Cunliffe added: “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.”
