The joint French-Swiss airport Basel-Mulhouse was evacuated and closed on Friday morning due to safety concerns. The airport, also known as EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, is located on the border of France and Switzerland, making it the only binational airport in the world.
According to a statement released by the airport, the terminal had to be evacuated, resulting in the closure of the airport. Flight operations have been temporarily suspended, and passengers are advised to contact their respective airlines for information regarding their flights.
It remains unclear whether the airport closure is linked to the train network disruptions occurring elsewhere in France. The airport authorities emphasized that the evacuation and closure were necessary for the safety of both passengers and employees.
We regret any inconvenience caused by this situation and appreciate the cooperation of all individuals involved in ensuring the safety and security of the airport premises. Further updates regarding the reopening of the airport will be provided as soon as more information becomes available.
