New route to Morocco launched from Leeds Bradford Airport

Tuesday, 11 February 2025 13:26

A new holiday destination is now available from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Jet2 has launched a new route to Morocco from Leeds Bradford Airport, with flights and holidays now on sale to Marrakech.

This expansion comes on the back of continued demand for beach holidays and city breaks to Morocco from local holidaymakers.

It means the companies will operate to two destinations in the North African country from Leeds Bradford Airport to Marrakech and Agadir.

The introduction of this new route to Marrakech means that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will operate twice weekly services (Tuesdays and Fridays) from 3rd October 2025 through to 28th April 2026.

It means that Yorkshire’s leading airline and tour operator will operate to 22 destinations in Winter 25/26 and 58 destinations in total from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said:

“We have experienced a phenomenal reaction since launching our Morocco programme, with customers and independent travel agents jumping at the chance to book our award-winning flights and holidays.

“We are very excited to be giving Yorkshire holidaymakers even more choice thanks to the addition of Marrakech to our programme, and we know this brand-new route will be extremely popular.

“Our award-winning formula continues to delight customers and independent travel agents across the region, enabling us to add even more choice for them to enjoy.”

Tom Holdsworth, Aviation Manager at Leeds Bradford Airport, added:

“We are thrilled that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will be offering flights to Marrakech from Leeds Bradford.

“At the airport we pride ourselves on making destinations easily accessible for those in Yorkshire and with Morocco being such a sought-after destination for local holiday makers, it is incredibly exciting to have Jet2 operating this route for the Winter 25/26 season, which we expect to be very popular.”
