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] As of April 2018, the airport website mentions no scheduled services, but there are holiday charters, mainly to Mediterranean destinations.
