Strasbourg Airport (French: Aéroport de Strasbourg) (IATA: SXB, ICAO: LFST) is an airport located in Entzheim and 10 km (6.2 miles) west-southwest of Strasbourg,[1] both communes of the Bas-Rhin département in the Alsace région of France. In 2014 the airport served 1.167.612 passengers.[2]

Decline in airport passenger traffic

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 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] By 2016 the time needed by rail between Paris and Strasbourg will be further reduced down to 1:48 as the second phase of the high-speed line will be inaugurated.[6]

Additionally, the Lufthansa Airport Bus provides coach services between Strasbourg and Frankfurt Airport, regardless of the airline the passenger is flying with.[7]
