AN airline waved off its first flights to a "stunning" new destination from Leeds Bradford Airport.
Jet2 marked the start of flights and holidays to the coastal resort of Agadir in Morocco on Thursday from four UK airports - Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted and Manchester.
Agadir is dotted with a choice of hotels, waterparks and incredible bars and restaurants. Its 9km-long stretch of golden sand sparkles along the country’s West coast, ideal for days spent lazing by the Atlantic.
For a culture fix, holidaymakers can discover Agadir’s souks, minarets and tea cafes, as well as venturing to the laidback fishing village of Taghazout.
This morning, we proudly waved off the first-ever departure to Agadir with @jet2tweets! This exciting new route opens up another stunning region of Morocco for the Yorkshire Region!🇲🇦

Weekly flights from the Yeadon-based airport to Agadir will operate from today right through to November 12, 2026 - increasing to two weekly services from October 16, 2025.
Jet2 say this new programme of flights and holidays to Morocco has been launched in response to demand from customers and independent travel agents who are seeking new cultural destinations as well as guaranteed sunshine.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “With the weather in the UK taking another turn for the worse, we are delighted to be taking customers to the sunshine thanks to our new programme of flights and holidays to Agadir and Marrakech in Morocco."
