Yorkshire's Leeds Bradford Airport flying high - News

  • Leeds Bradford Airport comes out top in most popular airport take-off location in the North of England
  • West Yorkshire airport beats off rivals Liverpool and Manchester for the coveted crown
  • Iconic scenery and type of experiences on offer prove popular with locals

New booking data from us here at FlyDays has revealed that Yorkshire's Leeds Bradford Airport has won the battle for the coveted crown of being the most popular flying location in the North of England.

With the north of England offering such an array of locations for people to pick FlyDays.co.uk packages from, Yorkshire's airport flew comfortably past its nearest competitor, Liverpool John Lennon Airport, with customers four times more likely to book a flight from it.

The reasons why customers are choosing to fly from Yorkshire is hard to argue with when viewing the Flying Experiences the airport has to offer. From being able to fly over the Yorkshire Dales for your first ever flying lesson, or choosing to see the popular TV soap location, Emmerdale, from the sky, Leeds Bradford's wide range of flying options available has firmly put it ahead of every other destination.

When looking closer at the data, Leeds Bradford came out on top against some pretty stiff competition in terms of locations. As well as Liverpool, other popular take-off locations customers can choose from include Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle all offering a different experience and significant sights.

Alex MacGregor at FlyDays.co.uk says: "Everyone in the North is proud of their home county. For Yorkshire's main airport to come out on top, especially when you consider the competition they are up against, is an amazing yet understandable feat."

"Yorkshire is a wonderful place, surrounded by stunning scenery and spectacular settings. Whether you are taking a helicopter trip over the Woolpack Inn or soaking in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales from a bird's-eye perspective, it is clear to grasp why our customers flock to this location."
