NNA - The joint French-Swiss airport Basel-Mulhouse has reopened after it was evacuated and closed earlier Friday, the airport said in a statement.

The airport, also known as EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, is on the border of France and Switzerland and calls itself “the only binational airport in the world.”

“The airport has reopened, and flight operations are gradually restarting. Passengers are requested to contact their airline for information about their flight. We wish you a safe and happy journey,” the EuroAirport statement read.

The statement did not specify what led to the earlier evacuation. It does not appear that the closure was related to the rail network disruptions elsewhere in France.--agencies
