DUTCH airline KLM is set to restart daily flights from Leeds Bradford Airport.

A daily Cityhopper service between LBA and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport will resume from Saturday, July 4.

The route will be operated using an Embraer 190 aircraft, capable of carrying up to 100 passengers, with a range of measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

KLM’s General Manager for UK & Ireland, Benedicte Duval, said: “After this challenging period we are delighted to be able to welcome our Yorkshire-based customers back onboard.”

Chief Commercial Officer for Leeds Bradford Airport, Joanna Wild, added: “This is an important and popular route for LBA as passengers are able to access 165 KLM destinations worldwide via Amsterdam.”
