Open Data Insight of the Day

On February 15, 2026, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg experienced a notable level of activity with 27,470 passengers, 1.237 metric tons of cargo, and 174 flight movements. Passenger numbers were significantly higher than the 30-day average of 16,484.57, marking a 67% increase, which also positioned this day as the fourth highest in passenger traffic for the year. Compared to the seasonal average, this figure also represents a substantial rise, as the average daily passengers for February in previous years ranged from 2,898 to 4,991. This suggests a strong performance relative to historical norms.

Cargo volumes, however, were markedly lower than the 30-day average of 146.27 metric tons, indicating a significant decrease. This drop in cargo activity contrasts with the otherwise robust passenger traffic.

Flight movements on February 15 were 174, which is 11.7% above the 30-day average of 155.7, reflecting a higher-than-usual level of air traffic. This number aligns closely with the seasonal averages from recent years, where daily flight movements have varied between 35 and 70, depending on the year. Overall, while passenger traffic was exceptionally strong, cargo activity was subdued, and flight movements were moderately above average, indicating a mixed but predominantly positive day for the airport.
