EUROAIRPORT BASEL MULHOUSE FREIBURG AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History Euroairport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg Airport

In 1946, talks resumed, and it was agreed that an airport would be built 4 km (2.5 mi) north of Blotzheim, France. France would provide the land, and the Swiss canton of Basel-Stadt would cover the construction costs. Basel-Stadt's Grand Council agreed to pay the costs for a provisional airport even before an international treaty was signed (which was not until 1949). Construction began on March 8, 1946, and a provisional airport with a 1,200 m (3,900 ft) runway was officially opened on May 8.

In May 2008, Air Transat commenced seasonal service to Montreal. The airline flew an Airbus A310 on the route. In December 2014, Swiss

International Air Lines announced it would cease all operations in Basel by May 31, 2015, due to heavy competition from low-cost carriers. Swiss faced direct competition on five out of its six Basel routes, all of which were operated by Swiss Global Air Lines. The Lufthansa Group announced it would set up Eurowings' first base outside Germany at the EuroAirport as a replacement. However, these plans were later cancelled in favor of Vienna International Airport. In January 2017, the removal of Basel/Mulhouse from Air Berlin and its Swiss subsidiary Belair's route networks was announced.

Ground Transportation from Euroairport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg Airport

• Car: The airport is connected to the motorway A3, which leads from Basel to the southeast of Switzerland, passing Zürich.
• Bus: There are several bus connections to and from the EuroAirport to all three countries around it: On the Swiss exit, Basel's BVB bus No. 50 connects the airport to the Basel SBB railway station, which is the main Swiss and French railway station in Basel. During weekdays, there is a service every 7–8 minutes, and on weekends, every 10 minutes during the daytime. The duration of the trip is about 20 minutes.
• Rail: As of 2021, the closest train station is the Saint-Louis-la-Chaussée station, some 900 m (3,000 ft) north of the terminal. There are plans to build a dedicated airport rail link that will open sometime in the 2020s.
• Tram: There are two town tramway systems in relatively close proximity to the airport: the Basel tramway and the Mulhouse tramway. As the former was extended across the border in the 2010s, there are plans to further extend it to serve the airport. Presently, the tramway serves St. Louis SNCF Station, where you can change for the shuttle bus to the airport. Plans to extend the Mulhouse tramway to the airport do seem to be further from realization, however.
