EasyJet has announced it will no longer be running flights from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA).
The budget airline said it was withdrawing from the airport next January to "focus on maintaining and developing" its "most popular" routes.
Passengers travelling from LBA were able to fly to Barcelona, Paris, Belfast, Malaga, Mallorca and Geneva - but these journeys will cease from January 5, 2027.
Anyone with EasyJet bookings beyond that date have been offered a free transfer to flights from an alternative airport or a refund, the airline said.
EasyJet has not yet confirmed whether all scheduled flights to its destinations from Leeds Bradford Airport will go ahead.
But its website showed no available flights from Leeds Bradford to Geneva.
Flights to Malaga and Mallorca meanwhile appeared to stop running after November. Flights to Barcelona, Paris and Belfast still appeared to be available until January.
An EasyJet spokesperson said: "Following a review of our routes from Leeds Bradford Airport, we have made the decision to no longer operate flights from the airport after 5 January.
"Our focus is on maintaining and developing routes which prove most popular with customers."
"We have contacted customers with bookings beyond this date to provide them with advance notice and inform them of their options, including a free transfer to flights from an alternative airport or a refund, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused.
"We value the relationship we have built with Leeds Bradford Airport and we always keep options for our network under review, with the aim of providing more choice and connectivity where we see demand."
EasyJet began flights from Leeds Bradford Airport in 2010.
