Launch of new cross-border bus service EuroAirport-Lörrach
EuroAirport is now better served by public transport. The new regional business line 220 FREUND runs every hour, and every half hour during peak hours, between Lörrach and EuroAirport. The new line was inaugurated last Saturday with an inaugural trip which took all the special guests to the former Franco-German border post Palmrain in Village-Neuf.
EuroAirport is connected by bus to the national rail networks CFF (Switzerland), SNCF (France), DB (Germany) and the regional S-Bahn network of Lörrach via the stations of Basel, Saint-Louis, Freiburg im Breisgau and now also Weil am Rhein-Haltingen and Lörrach. EuroAirport is now connected by two bus lines to neighboring locations in Germany.
Better connections with neighboring regions in Germany
The new regional cross-border line 220 FREUND constitutes the first direct bus connection between Germany and France in the south of the Upper Rhine. The service connects Lörrach bus station to the airport and vice versa every hour. During peak hours, it runs every half hour. It serves the German DB rail network and the Lörrach regional S-Bahn network. For more information, please see the press release from the Lörrach district.
Flixbus, the “Freiburger Airportbus”, still provides a journey of just one hour from EuroAirport to Freiburg im Breisgau. Both lines leave from the French sector of the airport. The Lörrach district can also be reached via the Swiss sector by taking bus line 50 to Basel SBB station and changing to regional S-Bahn line S6.

Complementing the existing public transport network
Basel Public Transport (BVB) bus line 50, departing from the Swiss sector, connects EuroAirport to Basel SBB station and from there to the Swiss rail network.
The line 11 shuttle, which operates from the France Sector, connects EuroAirport to Saint-Louis station and from there to the French SNCF network, serving Mulhouse in the immediate vicinity.
The new EuroAirport-Lörrach bus route fits perfectly into the airport’s overall concept to improve the accessibility of the landside airport platform. As part of a global mobility concept, the airport is committed to its partners to make landside access less consuming of fossil energy. Also in this context, the BVB operator is replacing its previous generation of buses with extra-long, high-capacity electric buses.
