On November 30, 2025, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg handled 27,068 passengers, 1.013 metric tons of cargo, and 179 flight movements. Passenger numbers were significantly higher than the 30-day average of 21,973.63, showing an increase of approximately 23%. This figure also surpassed the seasonal averages from previous years, indicating a robust passenger turnout for this time of year. However, it remains below the all-time high of 37,476 passengers recorded on October 10, 2025.

Cargo volumes on November 30 were notably lower than the 30-day average of 136.61 metric tons, suggesting a substantial decrease in cargo activity. This could be attributed to fluctuations in demand or operational factors specific to that day.

This number also falls short of the seasonal and long-term averages, indicating a quieter day in terms of flight operations. The all-time record for flight movements stands at 439, achieved on June 13, 2019, highlighting the variability in daily flight activity.

Overall, while passenger traffic on November 30 was strong, cargo and flight movements were lower than recent averages, reflecting a mixed day of activity at EuroAirport.
