Airport Transfers to Basal and Europe

Strategically located on the borders of Germany, France and Switzerland, EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg Airport serves more than one location, as the name suggests. As a result, the airport has three IATA airport codes: BSL (Basel) is the Swiss code, MLH (Mulhouse) is the French code and EAP (EuroAirport) is the neutral code—so don’t get confused when flying to this airport! It is all the same location. If you are flying into Basel then this is the closest airport to the city, even though its physical location is in France. For a comfortable and convenient airport transfer, book a Blacklane private car service. Your chauffeur will greet you in the arrivals hall with a personalised sign, and drive you the short 10 minute journey from the airport to your hotel or appointment in Basel.
