EuroAirport clears an administrative hurdle.
The State Councillors of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, along with the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGAC), have approved the city-side extension of the terminal, the airport said in a press release.
The investment exceeds 157 million euros and is entirely financed by EuroAirport. It is the main project of a multi-year program exceeding 600 million euros over seven years, with almost half dedicated to service quality.

EuroAirport: security checks centralized in a new building
The project foresees the construction of a building of about 14,000 m² on the terminal’s east façade and the renovation of roughly 15,000 m² within the existing building.
Security checks will be centralized in this new building and the passenger journey will be simplified. The works will also enable changes to the dining options and the duty-free area, and access to the terminal will be redesigned. The expansion will not create additional aircraft processing capacity, the statement notes.
Named EMT (Modular Terminal Evolution), the project targets BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) “Excellent” certification and a reduction in the building’s carbon footprint.
Construction is planned to begin in the third quarter of 2027, with completion expected by the end of 2031.
