TUI to cut flights from Leeds Bradford in 2019

TUI has confirmed it is cancelling some of its flights and packages from Leeds Bradford Airport next summer.

The Yorkshire Evening post reports the operator’s Majorca and Corfu flights and packages will remain, but its Rhodes schedule will no longer operate.

In addition, many of its charter destinations will also not be served by LBA, although TUI has not confirmed which routes are affected.

Cruise fights, which take passengers to meet their Marella Cruises ships, will still depart from Leeds Bradford.

The newspaper has spoken to readers who said they’d been contacted by TUI to say they had to fly out of a different airport or have their booking refunded. One reader said she’d been told her May 2019 holiday to Majorca could only go ahead if she agreed to change her flight times.

TUI issued a statement saying: "We’ve been able to re-look at our summer 2019 programme and we’ve made a few changes to our flight schedule.

"We’ll be moving an aircraft which was due to be based at Leeds to another airport within our regional network as we continue to support growth at some of our key focus airports for the year ahead.

"This has resulted in a number of flights being cancelled from Leeds Bradford Airport. We are directly contacting any affected customers with alternative travel options and offering a gesture of goodwill."
