Basel Mulhouse Airport

I have used this airport 3 times over the past few months and found it to be a very pleasant experience on all occasions. Staff spoke good english everywhere is clearly signposted. Facilities are also good and baggage reclaim is efficient - just have to make sure you choose the right door on exiting or you might end up in Switzerland when you want to be in France or vice versa!

It is a sad fact of modern economics that after having spent a fortune upgrading the capacity and facilities of BSL (Euroairport) that Swiss has decided to leave the airport from the end of March 2004 leaving many slots to the UK and within Europe unused and with no obvious competitor waiting in the wings to pass them on. There are very few scheduled airlines using the airport and it seems that the main users will be holiday charters and freight. What a pity - if only one could bring back Crossair (or a new 'post-Swiss takeover' reincarnation) which was an airline with honest fares a reliable fleet run by efficient and caring crew and well- used and appreciated by the flying public.
