| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg | BSL | 50 km (31 mi) | 12,795 ft | 885 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,795 ft, BSL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 885 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
