Local Transport

The airport is served by commuter rail every 15 minutes. The name of the station is "Entzheim Aeroport". It takes nine minutes to reach Strasbourg main station. A multi-modal ticket valid on the TER Aéroport and the Strasbourg Tram to any point in the CUS is 3,60 Euro. [2]

Impact of the TGV

Since the new LGV Est high speed rail line from Paris to Strasbourg has opened there has been a reduction in plane ridership. Once the new LGV Rhin Rhône opens in late 2011 patronage of the airport is expected to fall even further.
