Leeds-Bradford Airport

A reduced arrivals and departures schedule will continue operate at Leeds-Bradford over New Year, with seven flights departing today (December 31) and a further six tomorrow (January 31).

The airport will then return to a more fuller schedule on Sunday (January 2) with 17 flights currently schedule to take off.

Air travellers will however have to continue to contend with multiple travel restrictions.

Travellers flying out of England will be required to show a negative PCR test, taken within the 48 hours prior to departure, while returning flyers must provide proof of a negative lateral flow or PCR test, within the same time period.

Upon re-entering the country travellers must then self-isolate until they test negative within two days of arrival.
