LEEDS BRADFORD AIRPORT CELEBRATES FIRST FLIGHT OF NEW EASYJET ROUTE TO PARIS

The first flight of the new easyJet route to Paris from Leeds Bradford Airport took to the skies yesterday (Monday 28 October), as the airport celebrated the latest destination available this winter.

Following the success of the easyJet route to Belfast which has been running since 2021 and while eagerly awaiting the new Geneva connection which will begin in January 2025, easyJet has begun a new service from Leeds Bradford to Paris. Flights will operate twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays throughout winter until the end of March, offering travellers the chance to experience everything Paris has to offer, from Disneyland to the Moulin Rouge - all from the convenience of Leeds Bradford Airport.
