WHY?

Strasbourg Airport’s runway is getting a makeover!

The last major work on the runway dates back to July 2000, when the airport was also closed for 6 weeks.

In order to ensure the continuity of aeronautical activities and guarantee the safety of take-offs and landings, it is necessary to repair the runway.

FLIGHT CONTINUITY

The airlines themselves decide whether they wish to divert their flights and to which airport. Some airlines have chosen to suspend their flights during this period.

The choices of airlines operating regular flights during this period from the airport are as follows

Air Arabia: Flights to Fez and Nador moved to Basel – Mulhouse

Air France: Flights to Lyon: flights suspended

Amelia: Flights to Amsterdam: flights suspended

Iberia: Flights to Madrid: flights suspended

Nouvelair: Flights to Tunis and Djerba moved from Basel – Mulhouse

Royal Air Maroc: Flights to Casablanca: flights suspended

Ryanair: Flights to Porto: flights suspended

Tassili Airlines : Flights to Algiers and Constantine : moved from Basel – Mulhouse

Tunisair: Flights to Tunis: flights suspended

Turkish Airlines: Flights to Istanbul offered from Basel – Mulhouse

Volotea: Flights to Barcelona, Bordeaux, Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes, Nice, Rome and Toulouse: flights suspended

THE WORKS

The works will consist of renovating the entire runway surface as well as that of the access roads, and installing new, more energy-efficient LED lighting.

During the runway renovation works, which will take place over several weeks between 27 February and 21 May, the runway will be completely closed to air traffic from Tuesday 14 March to Friday 14 April.

Three main criteria led us to choose this period of complete closure :

the relatively low level of traffic at this time of year at the junction between the winter and summer flying seasons
a period before the spring school holidays in Strasbourg in order to penalise our customers, companies and travellers as little as possible
the weather is expected to be milder at the end of winter to reduce the risk of work being prolonged due to bad weather.

Strasbourg Airport will take advantage of this period of traffic disruption to carry out, at the same time in the terminal, work to bring hold baggage screening systems up to standard and to reorganise check-in area A and the security filter.
