Ryanair Answers easyJet’s Leeds Exit With £29.99 Malaga Fares
Ryanair has introduced special fares on its Leeds Bradford–Malaga route for people affected by easyJet’s decision to leave the Yorkshire airport. The offer targets travellers whose plans have been disrupted by easyJet’s withdrawal of its entire Leeds Bradford programme. Ryanair announced the promotion on 20 August, presenting its existing Malaga service as an alternative for customers who still want to start their journey at Leeds Bradford.
The Malaga Fare Offer
- Route: Leeds Bradford (LBA) – Malaga (AGP)
- Airline: Ryanair
- Offer launched: 20 August 2026
- Frequency: 10 flights per week
- Fare: From £29.99
- Booking window: Until the end of February 2027
- Seasonality: Not specified in Ryanair’s announcement
- easyJet withdrawal: All Leeds Bradford services end after 5 January 2027
The offer is limited to Malaga and does not cover the other easyJet routes disappearing from Leeds Bradford. easyJet will end its entire programme at the airport after 5 January 2027. Customers with bookings beyond that date have been contacted by easyJet and can choose a free transfer to another flight or a refund. Ryanair’s promotion is a separate booking option for those still travelling to Malaga.
The Malaga service gives affected easyJet customers another way to keep southern Spain in their plans without changing their UK departure airport. Malaga offers the Alcazaba, Roman Theatre, Picasso Museum and beaches such as La Malagueta. Its airport also provides a starting point for trips along the Costa del Sol, including Torremolinos, Benalmádena and Marbella, making the route useful for both city breaks and longer coastal holidays.
Anyone affected by easyJet’s withdrawal should deal with the original booking before paying for a replacement flight. The Ryanair offer is most useful to Malaga passengers who want to keep Leeds Bradford as their departure airport; people booked for easyJet’s other destinations will need different alternatives. Since the advertised fare is a starting price, checking the final cost for the chosen date before booking is still important.
