In July 2026, EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg saw above-average passenger numbers but significantly below-average flight movements and record-low cargo volumes, reflecting the lingering effects of a main runway renovation earlier that year.
In July 2026, EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg handled 778,913 passengers, 5,274 flight movements, and 1,907 metric tons of cargo. The busiest day saw 28,634 passengers and 172 flights, while the quietest day recorded just a single flight movement.
Compared to historical averages for the month of July, passenger numbers were above the norm of 736,305 but remained well below the July record of 944,905. Flight movements were significantly lower than the July average of 7,502 and came close to the historical July minimum of 4,907. Cargo volume matched the all-time low for July, which stands at 1,907 metric tons.
Looking at all months on record, the passenger figure did not approach the absolute peak of 1,010,155 set in August 2025, nor the extreme low of 1,177 from April 2020. Flight movements were far above the all-time minimum of 1,035 recorded in April 2020 and well short of the all-time maximum of 9,600 from June 2019. The cargo tonnage was notably weak, sitting just above the absolute minimum of 1,068 metric tons recorded in May 2026. This low cargo figure, along with the reduced flight movements, reflects the ongoing impact of the main runway renovation that took place from mid-April to late May 2026, which led airlines to reduce their schedules and continues to influence operational volumes into the summer.
