[edit] History

I think it would be interesting to have a bit more history of EuroAirport (well all airport articles would be great to have more history), as the article doesn't really go into how it was only ever Basle/Mulhouse, and then some time ago Freiburg got chucked into the mix - do German authorities have any authority in the airport? etc, etc. I will also be asking a photographer who has Basle as his home airport to see if he has any old (and new) airport pics which can be used in the article (if you look at my recent image contributions, you will see that he has been a great source for old, rare and of course fantastic airliner images). --Russavia 19:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

History section added.

Sorry I can't find a date for when the German's became part-owners (other than the name change in 1987). I believe they own a smaller proportion than the French or Swiss. There is no "German zone" at the airport. The bus to Freiburg leaves from the French side, and most passengers arriving/leaving by road to/from Germany do so from the French side, as it saves doubling back via Basel. There are no border controls between France and Germany. If they are arriving by train it would be easier to go via Basel and the bus from Basel SBB station.

Inside the airport you can cross the border on foot, but there is no road crossing, to drive between the French and Swiss sides you need to go via Basel. The map here shows the Zollfreistrasse/Route Douanière to the Swiss side and the parallel French Autoroute A35 to the French side, which do not connect until they cross the border into Switzerland.
