Leeds Bradford Airport is set to operate a new air link to the Egyptian holiday destination, Sharm el Sheikh, early next year.

The new air travel services from Jet2 and Jet2holidays will be representing a first for the Yorkshire hub. This is great offer from Jet2, as lots of passengers love to travel to the Egyptian holiday destination of Sharm el Sheikh, which is becoming quite popular around the world.

Sharm el Sheikh is very popular holiday destination with British holidaymakers and the start of a new air link will be the first time that a tour operator and carrier have operated flights to the place from the region.

The flights and holiday packages will be offered by the airlines and holiday operator and the flights will be started in the month of February next year.

Leeds Bradford airport's commercial and aviation development director, Tony Hallwood, said, "Increasing the choice and scope of destinations available from Leeds Bradford is crucial to the continued success and prosperity of the airport".

"We have been working closely with Jet2 and Jet2holidays for a long time to ensure that people in Yorkshire have a wide range of destinations available to them. This launch is testament to this long-standing partnership", Hallwood further said.

This is a great development in the wake of decreasing frequency of flights and routes during holidays due to the rising costs of fuel and airlines grounding lots of routes and flights.
