EuroAirport passenger traffic above average, cargo hits June low.

July 1, 2026

In June 2026, EuroAirport recorded 703,326 passengers, which was above the historical June average but below the June maximum, while its cargo volume of 1,934 metric tons matched the lowest ever for a June. Flight movements were below the June average, potentially due to lingering effects from a runway renovation that ended in May 2026.

In June 2026, EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg recorded 703,326 passengers, 1,934 metric tons of cargo, and 5,080 flight movements.

Compared to historical June months, passenger numbers were above the average of 621,776 but below the June maximum of 894,906 and well above the June minimum of 23,165. Cargo volume was the lowest ever recorded for a June, matching the historical June minimum of 1,934 metric tons. Flight movements were below the June average of 6,941, and also below the June maximum of 9,600, but above the June minimum of 3,056.

Looking at all months on record, June 2026 passenger numbers were above the all-time average of 579,902, far below the all-time maximum of 1,010,155 passengers in August 2025, and far above the all-time minimum of 1,177 passengers in April 2020. Cargo volume was below the all-time average of 5,074 metric tons, below the all-time maximum of 6,770 metric tons in March 2022, and above the all-time minimum of 1,068 metric tons in May 2026. Flight movements were below the all-time average of 6,531, below the all-time maximum of 9,600 flights in June 2019, and above the all-time minimum of 1,035 flights in April 2020.

The low cargo volume for June 2026 is notable as it matches the historical minimum for the month. The reduced flight movements compared to the June average may be linked to the runway renovation at EuroAirport that took place from April 16 to May 20, 2026, during which operations were shifted to the secondary runway and airlines reduced their schedules. Although that period ended before June, the lingering effects on flight frequency and cargo capacity may have persisted into the start of the month.
