About EuroAirport Basel, mulhouse, freiburg

EuroAirport Basel, mulhouse, freiburg lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 47.60° N, 7.52° E, on Europe/Paris time (UTC+2).

EuroAirport Basel, mulhouse, freiburg has 2 runways. The longest, 15/33, measures 12,795 ft by 197 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is concrete. Both are lit for night operations.

Runway 15/33 is aligned roughly south-east/north-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. With 2 runways across 2 different headings, crews can pick whichever best suits the wind.

The runways are not interchangeable. 07/25 is 5,626 ft against 15/33's 12,795 ft, a difference of 7,169 ft, so the shorter one generally takes regional traffic while the longer handles anything heavy.
