The Leeds office of Colliers International has sold a 30,000 sq ft warehouse on the 1.53 acre site at Euroway Trading Estate in Bradford to Jet2, the low cost airline based at Leeds Bradford Airport.

The deal for Unit 2 on Roydsdale Way was secured on behalf of Colliers’ client, John Menzies plc for an undisclosed sum.

The budget airline operator has secured the warehouse and office premises to facilitate a new £9m training academy.

It will house three flight simulators and a unique cabin crew trainer to be used by new recruits and existing pilots and crew from its eight UK bases.

Jonathan McGrael at Colliers International Leeds office, said: “This is a significant deal that we are pleased to facilitate for John Menzies plc.

“Euroway Trading Estate continues to attract high caliber tenants due to its fantastic location and premises built to suit demand.”

Euroway Trading Estate is located just three miles from Bradford City Centre and half a mile from the M62 motorway.
