Throughout the year 2024, the Airport welcomed around 8.9 million passengers, an increase of 10.2% compared to the previous year. Passenger numbers reached 98% of the 2019 total. Cargo volumes are returning to pre-crisis levels as well. The Strategic Business Area Industry once again proved robust in 2023.
Renaud Paubelle has been appointed by the Board of Directors as the new Deputy Managing Director of Basel-Mulhouse Airport. He will take up his function on July 1, 2025, succeeding Marc Steuer.
The year 2024 saw a return to life before the pandemic as well as a recovery in air traffic, as reflected in EuroAirport’s three Strategic Business Areas. Passenger and cargo volumes recovered to close to 2019 levels while the Industry business segment, which specialises in aircraft maintenance and conversion, was once again robust.
EuroAirport’s links to the public transport system are now even better. The new 220 FREUND regional business service operates every hour, and every half-hour at peak times, between Lörrach and EuroAirport.
Tobias Markert has been appointed by the Board of Directors as the new Managing Director of Basel-Mulhouse Airport. He will take office on April 1, 2025 and succeeds Matthias Suhr, who will be taking early retirement after 10 years at the head of the Airport.

Autumn heralds the end of summer and ever shorter days, but that needn't curb your desire to travel - quite the opposite!
In preparation of the Airport’s runway refurbishment scheduled for spring 2026, Basel Mulhouse-Airport will set up a construction site base. Preparative work will be carried out starting September 23 and continued throughout a total period of six months, with an effective execution (actual construction duration) period lasting around four months.
Last weekend, summer vacations came to an end in the last regions around EuroAirport. Due to EuroAirport’s trinational catchment area, the Airport’s summer vacation period is prolonged for several weeks each year.
From September 9, 2024, Manuela Witzig, former Head of German Corporate Communications, will take over as Head of Communications and Public Affairs. She will take over this role from Managing Director Matthias Suhr, who has held the position on an interim basis since September 2020.
Starting August 2, 2024, the airline flydubai has been offering scheduled flights between Basel-Mulhouse Airport and its hub located in Dubai. The Arabian airline and EuroAirport officially inaugurated the new route on Wednesday, August 7.
Summer vacation will soon begin in the tri-border area. For the upcoming weeks, EuroAirport is therefore expecting a very high volume of passengers.
