Basel-Mulhouse International Airport (Euroairport) will have an extremely reduced timetable from April 15 to May 20, 2026 as the airport is refurbishing its main runway during these 35 days. The main runway as well as taxiway Bravo will remain closed as renovation work will be carried to ensure operational safety in the long term.
The airport is meanwhile an important air gateway. With 9.63 million passengers last year (up 8% over 2024), the French-Swiss airport is the third busiest for Switzerland after Zurich and Geneva. Basel-Mulhouse is indeed a major base for easyJet Switzerland. The airport is also the sixth busiest in France and the largest in the Eastern part of the country.
During the closure time, flight operations will be handled via the secondary runway. The airlines already finalized their flight schedules for this phase a few months ago.
Compared to normal flight operations, services will then be drastically reduced but still provide flight connections to important European business and city destinations as well as to a number of vacation destinations. Basel-Mulhouse will then be linked to 29 destinations -instead of 110 this summer season.
Only easyJet will maintain an adjusted selection of flight destinations out of EuroAirport. However, frequencies in services will also be sharply reduced compared to the regular summer schedule. A complete overview of passenger flight services available during the refurbishment period can be found here.
Other airlines are stopping to fly such as Air France, flyDubai or Lufthansa.
Others will transfer their flights to neighboring airports. Wizz Air, an important player at Basel-Mulhouse airport will relocate temporarily its flights to Ohrid, Tuzla, Banja Luka, and Niš from Stuttgart. The carrier will also boost frequencies from Stuttgart to Budapest, Skopje, Sofia and Tirana. From Baden-Baden/Karlsruhe airport, Wizz Air will fly to Wroclaw, Bratislava and to the Romanian cities of Bucarest, Cluj, Iasi und Tirgu Mures.
Low-cost carrier Air Arabia will also offer three weekly frequencies from Strasbourg airport to Casablanca and two weekly flights to Rabat in Morocco during the runway renovation.
