Basel Mulhouse-Freiburg EuroAirport in a nutshell

Basel

Euro Airport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg is situated in France, near the borders with Germany and Switzerland. The nearest town is Basel, 5 kilometres away, which is why the airport is better known by that name.

The French city of Mulhouse lies 20 km from the terminal, whilst the German city of Freiburg is over 46 km away.

The airport is jointly managed by Switzerland and France.

The airport is medium-sized and operates many direct flights throughout Europe. The largest proportion of flights are operated by easyJet, which has one of its largest hubs in Basel.

Due to its special status, the airport uses three IATA codes, which are displayed, for example, when searching for flights:

  • BSL – the most commonly used, officially for the Swiss part
  • MLH – for the French part
  • EAP – neutral code

Particularly when searching for French domestic flights, you may find lower fares by entering the code “MLH” instead of “BSL”.
