Airport beefs up links with major European travel hub

Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has confirmed it will host a fourth daily flight to Amsterdam with KLM.

This additional flight is on sale now and will depart every day at 1.20pm from 28 August 2023.

This new direct flight is in addition to the three existing KLM flights operating from LBA to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS). These depart at 6.20am, 10.05am and 5.20pm.

The additional KLM capacity will boost Yorkshire’s access to over 700 destinations worldwide via connections from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, including long haul routes to Asia and North America.

Nicola McMullen, aviation director at LBA, said: “This new daily flight significantly improves Yorkshire’s global connectivity.

“The added KLM capacity enables passengers to have even more opportunities to travel to the four corners of the globe via Schiphol, one of Europe’s biggest travel hubs.

“Whether it’s for business or leisure, we’re sure this new addition to KLM’s schedule will prove to be extremely popular.”
