Leeds-Bradford Inter-national Airport has unveiled a route to Ireland.

Flybe will operate three services a week to Knock on Ireland’s picturesque West Coast from March.

The service will expand the airline’s summer schedule from Leeds Bradford airport to a total of five routes with a choice of up to 88 flights a week. Flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

The additional route is expected to be used by a mix of business and leisure passengers.

The airline’s managing director, Andrew Strong, said: “Flybe is committed to developing our route network out of Leeds-Bradford and to keeping business and leisure travellers moving during these continued economically challenging times.”
