Basel Freiburg (EAP) Airport

EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg EAP is truly an international airport - one of the few airports in the world, which is operated jointly by two countries, France & Switzerland. The Airport’s headquarters are located in Blotzheim, France, and is open 4:30 am to midnight.
Note that the Airport code EAP represents the international code, whereas Basel is assigned code BSL and Mulhouse is assigned code  MLH. As a consequence, there may be different fare fare prices - i.e., an Air France ticket from MLH to CDG could be less than one from BSL to CDG (the flight from BSL to CDG is being ticketed as a stop-over in MLH);  'price differences between fares offered to/from one airport code or the other, and tickets which are built of 'connections' and therefore 'non-stop'.

EuroAirport is located in the Saint-Louis community, (near the Swiss & German borders), within the Haut Rhin Department of France, off motorway A35, and and situated 6 km northwest of the city of Basel, Switzerland, and 22 km southeast of the city of Mulhouse, France, and is near the City of Freiburg, Germany. Drivers using motorway A35 from Mulhouse to the Airport can avoid morning rush hour congestion by exiting A35 already at Bartenheim and using the highway via Blotzheim to the Airport.

With two runways and an estimated 5.3 million passengers in 2012, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is served by a multitude of international airlines with direct and connecting flights to numerous European cities and beyond. Seasonal charter flights are available to popular vacation destinations.
