easyJet to exit Leeds Bradford Airport in January 2027, ending all flights as Jet2 and Ryanair expand

easyJet will end its Leeds Bradford operations after Jan. 5, 2027, withdrawing from the Yorkshire airport following a review of its network and a focus on higher-demand routes elsewhere. The exit follows the cancellation of Leeds–Geneva service and creates room for Jet2 and Ryanair to add capacity and cut fares.
