• easyJet confirms expansion of routes from LBA to popular Spanish destinations from March 2025 with fares starting from £26.99*
• easyJet expands their existing routes which include Belfast, Geneva and Paris

Just when you think summer is over, easyJet has brought a touch of Spain to Yorkshire to announce new routes to Malaga and Palma from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) starting from the end of March 2025.

With existing flights to Belfast, Geneva and Paris already available from Leeds Bradford Airport, easyJet customers can look forward to some Spanish sun from 30 March 2025 with two new fantastic destinations available to book from today.

Palma, being the beautiful Mediterranean capital of Mallorca, hosts an array of restaurants and bars, boutique shops and architectural landmarks, all that is needed for a perfect few days in the sun. Flights will depart twice a week in April and May on Wednesdays and Sundays and four times per week from June onwards with the addition of Mondays and Fridays. Only a short 2hr 45min flight time from LBA, you can be strolling around Palma's picturesque old town in no time.

On Spain’s sunny coast, Malaga is not only the home to the world-renowned artist Picasso, but also sixteen golden sandy beaches, incredible tapas and a rich cultural heritage, all within a 3-hour flight from LBA. easyJet’s new route will launch on 2 April 2025 and depart on Wednesdays in April and May, with an additional flight on Sundays from June. 

Both Spanish cities are known for their rich culture and vibrant nightlife, offering the best of both worlds. With flights available to book now, it’s not too early to look forward to your next bit of sunshine, culture, adventure and everything else the destinations can promise.

Tom Holdsworth, Leeds Bradford’s Aviation Development Manager commented “Having these extra flights depart from Leeds Bradford Airport, to two of Spain’s most loved cities, is incredibly exciting. We’re really pleased that easyJet is continuing to recognise that customers wanting to fly from LBA are looking to explore more and more destinations.”

Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK Country Manager, said: “The addition of Malaga and Majorca to our Leeds operation provides our customers in the North of England with even more choice and great value when booking their holidays to two of Spain’s most popular destinations and we can’t wait to welcome more customers onboard next summer.”
