Flybe franchise partner Eastern Airways has reintroduced summer flights from Southampton to southern France.
The UK regional airline will be running up to three flights a week to Rodez.
Flights take up to one hour 40 minutes and depart from Southampton at 2pm on Mondays and 11.15am on Fridays.
Departures on Wednesdays will be added from June 18 with 1.35pm departures from Southampton. Fares start at £54.99 one-way.
Rodez, the capital of the Aveyron department, is situated in the north east of the Midi-Pyrenees region.
The airline’s general manager operations, Roger Hage, said: “We’re pleased to reintroduce the summer Southampton-Rodez service, following last year’s successful programme.
“The service is very much aimed at leisure travellers, including those with second homes in south west France, giving the option of short breaks to week long stays.
“Southampton is the gateway to the south coast of England and inbound tourists will not only benefit from the region’s attractions, but also the airport’s convenient rail link to London.”
Airport managing director, Neil Garwood, added: “We are excited that Eastern Airways yet again has commenced their direct flight to Rodez. One of our top priorities here at Southampton Airport is to be able to offer a range of different destinations for summer, whether you prefer sunbathing on the beach or exploring cultural gems.”
