One famous airport of Europe is the Basel Airport which is officially known as the EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg.

The airport serves about four million international passengers in a year as shows the records of last year.

There are very few airports in the world that are operated by two countries like this one is – it is operated by both France and Switzerland. It was back in the year 1946 that the two countries agreed to jointly operate this international airport. The plan for such an airport was made back in the 30s but then because of the Second World War there had been no progress for quite a few years after which the construction for this particular airport began in the year 1946. The official name of the airport was changed to the present one in the year 1987 and today airlines like Lufthansa, Air-France, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Swiss International Airlines, Pegasus Airlines all serve the Basel Airport.
