Summary: EasyJet leaves Leeds Bradford in January 2027, dropping routes to Barcelona, Málaga and Palma. Jet2 and Ryanair remain.

## Article

EasyJet will stop operating at Leeds Bradford airport in January 2027, according to [Hosteltur](https://www.hosteltur.com/178177_easyjet-deja-de-volar-desde-leeds-bradford-suprimiendo-tres-conexiones-con-espana.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=easyjet-deja-de-volar-desde-leeds-bradford-suprimiendo-tres-conexiones-con-espana). The airline is dropping its direct routes to Spain:
- Barcelona
- Málaga
- Palma

These three connections are left without an operator. This is not a minor move: Leeds Bradford is a regional airport with growth ambitions. The airport aims to grow from 4.24 million passengers in 2024 to 7 million by 2030, backed by more than £100 million in investment, as reported by [Hosteltur](https://www.hosteltur.com/178177_easyjet-deja-de-volar-desde-leeds-bradford-suprimiendo-tres-conexiones-con-espana.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=easyjet-deja-de-volar-desde-leeds-bradford-suprimiendo-tres-conexiones-con-espana). And here's the thing: **Jet2 and Ryanair will keep operating** from Leeds. Connectivity to Spain isn't disappearing, it's changing hands.

In my view, EasyJet is concentrating its operations in larger bases after years of expansion. It's an understandable strategic call, but it leaves a gap at an airport that's investing to grow. Let's see if Leeds Bradford finds another airline to fill it, or if Jet2 seizes the moment.
