EASYJET has announced that EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg will be its next major airport base and has signed a long-term deal which will guarantee low fares to consumers for years to come. The move comes at a time when troubled Swiss is restructuring its flights, including those from Basel. During the coming summer season, easyJet will base three additional Airbus A319 aircraft at the airport and will also recruit flying crews locally. easyJet already operates from Basel to Berlin, Liverpool, Luton and Stansted. It expects that 1.5m passengers will use the airport in the coming 12 months.
