Airport Overview

Page sections

Strasbourg International Airport (SXB), known locally as Aeroport de Strasbourg, is approximately 6 miles (10 km) southwest of the city of Strasbourg, France. It serves about 1 million passengers per year.

Comprising one terminal building with adjacent parking lots P1-P5, Strasbourg International is a compact and efficient airport. Staff are friendly and helpful, making procedures like checking in and claiming baggage a breeze. 

This is a quick in-and-out airport, so there isn’t much in the way of amenities. However, the nine-minute shuttle-train journey, or the slightly longer but equally efficient bus or taxi ride, will ensure that you’re soon enjoying the charms of historic Strasbourg and the surrounding Alsatian countryside.
