On November 16, 2025, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg handled 25,725 passengers, 0.615 metric tons of cargo, and 189 flight movements. Passenger numbers were slightly below the 30-day average of 26,676, indicating a 3.6% decrease. Compared to the seasonal average, yesterday's passenger count was significantly higher, as the seasonal average for November in previous years was around 4,816 passengers per day. However, it was still below the all-time high of 37,476 passengers recorded on October 10, 2025.

Cargo volumes were notably low at 0.615 metric tons, which is a stark contrast to the 30-day average of 130 metric tons. This represents a significant decrease and is well below typical seasonal and long-term averages, suggesting an unusually low cargo activity for the day.

Flight movements totaled 189, which is 17.7% below the 30-day average of 229.63 flights. This figure is consistent with the seasonal average, as historical data shows a lower number of flights during this period. However, it remains significantly below the all-time high of 439 flights recorded on June 13, 2019.

Overall, while passenger numbers were relatively stable, both cargo and flight movements were notably below recent averages, reflecting a quieter day in terms of air traffic activity at the airport.
