History
In February 2017, the airport decided to cancel all subsidies towards low cost carriers serving the airport which led to Ryanair and Pegasus Airlines cancelling all services to Saint-Étienne by 2018.[2] Consequently, there were no scheduled services to and from the airport for several years, apart from occasional holiday charters, mainly to Mediterranean destinations.[3] At the time, passengers were reallocated to Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport which is located 77 km (48 mi) to the north east of Saint-Étienne–Bouthéon Airport. In 2025, ASL Airlines France commenced flights to Bejaia during the summer holidays.
