Mulhouse International Airport, BSL

Basel-Mulhouse International Airport – Basel, Switzerland (IATA: BSL, EAP, MLH, ICAO: LFSB) also known as Euroairport is an international airport near Mulhouse (France), Basel (Switzerland), and Freiburg (Germany). It is located in France, on the administrative territory of the commune of Saint-Louis and handled 4,020,322 passengers in 2006.

International status

Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is one of the few airports in the world operated jointly by two countries, France and Switzerland. Contrary to popular belief, the airport is located completely on French soil, but is operated on an agreement established in 1946 where both Switzerland and France are granted duty-free access to the airport. The airport's board has 8 members from each country.

The airport itself is split into two architecturally independent halves, one half serving the French side (today considered the Schengen side) and the other half serving the Swiss side; there is a customs point at the middle of the airport so that people can "emigrate" to the other side of the airport.
