About This Airport
One airport, two customs regimes, three countries in its name: EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (IATA: BSL/MLH/EAP, ICAO: LFSB) stands on French soil near Saint-Louis but is operated binationally by France and Switzerland - unique worldwide. For forwarders this is more than a curiosity: shipments can clear customs under Swiss or EU rules, and a customs-free road links the site directly to Basel without touching French territory. Cargo throughput runs in the order of 100,000 tonnes a year, driven by Basel's pharmaceutical industry - Novartis and Roche sit a few kilometres away, and the Cargo Terminal opened in 2015 is built around temperature-controlled shipments accordingly. Express traffic and freighter charters round out the business. A second speciality gives the site global standing: at the EuroAirport, AMAC Aerospace and Jet Aviation convert widebody aircraft into VIP and government jets, with completion hangars ranked among the most prestigious in the industry. On the passenger side, the airport counts around 9 million travellers, mainly with easyJet, which maintains a large base here. Access runs via the French A35 and the Swiss A3 motorways; Basel city centre lies only about 6 kilometres away, while a direct rail link is still missing and has been in planning for years.
