The EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg consists of a single terminal building, a brick-style main area with four levels, and the Y-shaped gate area attached to it.
The Euroairport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg BSL was constructed between 1945 and 1946 following a decision by France and Switzerland about the need for a jointly run airport facility for cargo and passengers. The highest number of passengers has been in 2017: 7,880,740 people.
The construction of Basel airport was done in early 1930 even though, it was temporarily stopped by the occurrence of the Second World War. In 1946 it was agreed that an airport would be built 4 kilometers, north of Blotzheim, France. France provided the land and the Swiss canton of Basel-Stadt would cover the construction costs. Construction began on 8 March 1946 and a provisional airport with a 1,200-metre (3,900 ft) runway was officially opened on 8 May.
Between autumn 1951 and spring 1953, the runway was extended to 1,600 meters (5,200 ft) and the “Zollfreistrasse” (customs-free road) was constructed, allowing access from Basel to the departure terminal without passing through French border controls.
The first enlargement project was approved by referendum in Basel in 1960 and, over the following decades, the terminals and runways were continually extended. The north–south runway was extended further to 3,900 meters (12,800 ft) in 1972.
