And now the airport has revealed the most popular long-haul destinations booked by Yorkshire travellers in its catchment area.

Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad was the most booked route for Yorkshire passengers, many of whom will be of Pakistani descent. Another Pakistan International Airlines flight, to Lahore in the Punjab province, came in at number 10.
