THOMSON and First Choice are to introduce new routes to Menorca and Cyprus from Leeds-Bradford Airport.

The routes to Mahon and Paphos will be launched in summer 2016 as part of the holiday company’s strategy to ensure customers across the UK can fly from their local airport to some of the world’s most exciting destinations.

The routes go on sale in April 2015.

Karen Switzer, from Thomson and First Choice, said: “Adding more capacity from Leeds-Bradford and with the introduction of new routes to Menorca and Cyprus demonstrates our commitment to the airport and the local area.

Following the success of similar routes across a number of regional airports, we know that the demand is there.”
