'At the airport we pride ourselves on making destinations easily accessible for those in Yorkshire'
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have announced the launch of the route to Morocco from Leeds Bradford Airport – with flights and holidays now on-sale for winter 25/26 to Marrakech. This expansion comes on the back of continued demand for beach holidays and city breaks to Morocco from local holidaymakers and means the companies will operate to two destinations in the North African country from Leeds Bradford Airport – Marrakech and Agadir.
The introduction of this brand-new route to Marrakech means that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will operate twice weekly services from October 2025 through to 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, chief executive officer 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.
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.
