Airline introduces another Paris flight from Leeds Bradford Airport
Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) is expanding its easyJet partnership with the introduction of a new route to Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) for the winter 2024/25 season.
Building on 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 28 October 2024 until 28 March 2025.
On Mondays, the flight will arrive in Leeds at 1.30pm and depart at 2.10pm. On Fridays, it will arrive in Leeds at 12.10pm and depart at 12.40pm.
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 pleased 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 on 18 January 2025.
The news follows LBA’s recent unveiling of its £200m Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to create 5,500 jobs and contribute nearly £1bn 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.
