On December 12, 2025, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg experienced a significant increase in passenger traffic, with numbers exceeding the 30-day and seasonal averages, while cargo volumes were slightly below average, and flight movements saw a notable rise compared to recent trends. Despite these increases, the figures did not surpass the all-time records for passengers and flights.
On December 12, 2025, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg saw 27,859 passengers, handled 142.85 metric tons of cargo, and recorded 270 flight movements. Passenger numbers exceeded the 30-day average of 21,600.77 by approximately 29%, indicating a significant increase in daily traffic. Compared to the seasonal average for December in recent years, the passenger count was also higher, surpassing the typical daily figures observed during this period. However, it did not reach the all-time high of 37,476 passengers recorded on October 10, 2025.
Cargo volumes were slightly below the 30-day average of 146.71 metric tons, reflecting a minor decrease of about 2.6%. This suggests that while passenger traffic was robust, cargo activity was slightly subdued compared to recent trends.
Flight movements at 270 were notably above the 30-day average of 186.77, representing a 44.6% increase. This figure is consistent with the seasonal uptick in flights but remains below the all-time record of 439 flights set on June 13, 2019. Overall, the day's flight activity ranked 117th in the year, highlighting a busy day in terms of air traffic operations at the airport.
