Strasbourg Airport (French: Aéroport de Strasbourg; German: Straßburg Flughafen; Swiss German; Alemannic; Alsatian: D'r Strossburi(g) Flughàfa) is a minor international airport located in Entzheim and 10 km (6.2 miles) west-southwest of Strasbourg, both communes of the Bas-Rhin département in the Alsace région of France. In 2018 the airport served 1,297,177 passengers.[2]
There was a decline in traffic after Ryanair suspended service in 2004 after a court declared that the airline had received illegal subsidies from the airport.[3]
After the opening of the first phase of the new LGV Est high-speed rail line from Paris to Strasbourg, there was a significant[4] reduction in plane usage, but since 2011, traffic at the airport has grown. However, Air France ceased to operate the route between Strasbourg and Paris-Charles de Gaulle on 2 April 2013, transferring passengers onto rail services operated as tgvair.[5] The opening of the second phase of the LGV Est in July 2016 further reduced travel time to Paris to 1:48 by train.[6]
The airport consists of a single two-storey passenger terminal building. The ground floor features the check-in areas as well as the arrivals facilities with three baggage claim belts. The upper floor contains the international and domestic departure lounges and gates.[7] The terminal is equipped with four gates that have jet-bridges as well as some walk-boarding stands.
The following airlines operate regular scheduled and charter flights at Strasbourg Airport:
The airport is served by the Entzheim-Aéroport train station, on the line from Strasbourg to Molsheim.[8] The trip to Gare de Strasbourg takes 7 to 12 minutes.
