EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse Reopens After Threat

Published: 2024-07-26

The EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse has reopened after being evacuated due to a bomb threat.

The evacuation occurred on the morning of July 26, 2024, coinciding with heightened security concerns surrounding the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris and recent sabotage acts on the French rail network.

Passengers were instructed to leave Terminal 4 as authorities responded to the threat, which was reportedly linked to an Air France flight to Paris.

By midday, the airport confirmed that operations were gradually resuming, and travelers were advised to check with their airlines for flight updates.

The incident has raised alarms, especially given the ongoing security tensions in the region.
