The Editor
Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) is expanding its easyJet partnership with the introduction of a brand new route to Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) for the winter 24/25 season.
Building on the success of its existing routes to Belfast and Geneva, easyJet will now operate the new flight service to Paris, running twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays from 28th October 2024 until 28th March 2025.
On Mondays, the flight will arrive in Leeds at 13:30 and depart at 14:10. On Fridays, it will arrive in Leeds at 12:10 and depart at 12:40.
easyJet has already put flights to Paris on sale, offering more options for travel to the French capital, Disneyland Paris, and for those looking for onward long-haul connectivity.
Tom Holdsworth, aviation development manager, said: “This is an extremely exciting time at LBA with LBA:REGEN taking shape, improving the passenger experience and providing increased capacity. We are delighted to see easyJet’s continued investment in LBA and growing our partnership offering more routes and choice for our passengers.
“Paris is one of the world’s most iconic cities, and this addition to our growing network is a reflection of the increasing demand from the region’s holidaymakers to visit some of the most sought after destinations in Europe. We’re confident that passengers will make the most of this new opportunity and we look forward to the success of the route.”
Alongside the current six weekly flights from Leeds Bradford Airport to Belfast International Airport and new Paris-Charles de Gaulle route, easyJet will also fly multiple weekly flights to Geneva, Switzerland, for a six-week period, starting 18th January 2025.
This announcement follows LBA’s recent unveiling of its £200 million Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to create 5,500 jobs and contribute nearly £1 billion to the local economy as the airport targets seven million passengers annually by 2030. The plan focuses on expanding routes to European hubs, alongside new destinations in the North Atlantic and Middle East.
