Jet2 has been forced to delay flights at Leeds Bradford Airport due to ice-cold weather conditions hitting the UK.

"Our operations team have been closely monitoring this information and after giving it careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to delay the below flights on 2025 to and from Leeds Bradford Airport."
