Ryanair's Robin Kiely said:

“We are pleased to launch our 2017 Leeds Bradford Airport winter schedule, our biggest ever, which includes two new routes to Wroclaw and Murcia and 17 routes in total. These new routes will go on sale in February as we continue to grow our Leeds Bradford Airport traffic, tourism and jobs, underlining our commitment to the Yorkshire region."

Wroclaw, the largest city in western Poland, is the fourth Polish route from Leeds Bradford, while Murcia is the gateway to Spanish winter sun resorts such as La Manga, Cartegena and Torrevieja.
