The budget airline Ryanair will be returning to a second south-west France airport this summer, after previously announcing its departure.

The budget airline has confirmed resumption of twice-weekly services between Brive and London Stansted next month.

Tickets for twice-weekly Ryanair flights between Brive - situated in south-west France in the Corrèze département - and London Stansted this summer are now on sale.

This restores a service that Ryanair had axed last year, blaming rising French eco taxes on plane tickets. 

Flights will begin on March 30th and continue on Mondays and Fridays through to October 23rd, with one-way prices starting at €16.99.

It is not the first Ryanair service to resume after being cut. The airline previously confirmed it would return to Bergerac airport in south-west France this summer after announcing last July it would stop flights.

It was confirmed recently on social media that its service between Brive and Stansted would return. 

And on Friday, February 13th, the airport said that the Brive-Porto route Ryanair had dropped last October would be taken over by Volotea later this year.

Ryanair has yet to confirm its winter schedule plans, so it remains unclear whether the service to London Stansted will continue year-round.
