## Description

Chosen in March 2025 to host France's next-generation nuclear deterrent, BA 116 Luxeuil-Saint-Sauveur will receive the first Rafale F5 squadrons armed with the hypersonic ASN4G missile from around 2032, backed by a EUR 1.5 billion upgrade. The base currently flies the Mirage 2000-5 with the 2e escadre de chasse and runs no civil passenger or freight operations; it carries no IATA code. It sits near Luxeuil-les-Bains in Haute-Saône (Grand Est), close to the Vosges and the Swiss border. For air freight in the region, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (IATA: BSL), about 80 km to the southeast, is the nearest cargo option.
