Ryanair will resume flights from Newquay airport after Cornwall Council confirmed it was scrapping a £5 airport development fee.
The airline had pulled out of Newquay in 2006 in protest when the controversial charge was brought in.
The low-cost carrier will start twice weekly flights from Newquay to Alicante and Frankfurt Hahn from April 2016, three days after the tax is scrapped.
Ryanair aims to carry 35,000 passengers in the first year on the two new routes.
