EasyJet Pulls Out of Leeds Bradford Airport - Axing All Flights From Early January
The airline said a route review led to the exit, and affected customers will get refunds or free transfers to other airports.
- On Wednesday, easyJet cancelled around 100 flights in France after cabin crew unions initiated strike action, disrupting travel through Paris, Nice, Bordeaux, and Lyon.
- Unions representing France-based cabin crew launched the action outside formal negotiations, despite easyJet's offer of adjustments to address their concerns before planned September talks.
- Passengers cancelled with less than 14 days' notice may claim up to £520 under UK261, yet AirHelp reports 72% of British travelers do not understand their rights.
- Leeds Bradford Airport will lose all easyJet services from Tuesday January 5, 2027, as the operator shifts focus to maintaining and developing its "most popular" routes.
- Further strike action is possible in the coming weeks, while easyJet concurrently manages financial pressures from jet fuel costs and weaker demand for shorter trips.
