Hi,
Since this is the only airport in this case, I suggesting creating 2 entries for this airport:
BSL/LSZM for the Swiss part
MLH/LFSB for the French part
or adding a field : "Other/Former codes" with a list of comma-separated other codes (currently sometimes in "Keywords")

Location for baggage collection in a strange place. I ended up out of the "safe" zone, and then I had to go back in to the baggage collection area. Weird.
re: Multiple IATA/ICAO codes
Reply to @dmomper: Right now, there's no capability, but I've added "LSZM" and the extra IATA codes to the keywords, so that they'll at least show up in searches.
re: new info
Reply to @Jan_Olieslagers: Updated the airport name and code, and added a link to the Wikipedia article.
Uninhabited island
This island in the Pacific Ocean is uninhabited (except by occasional expeditions or cast-aways), and is a direct possession of France rather than part of one of its overseas territories. It does not belong to any Region or Department.
re: LFSL
Reply to @Tgd: Thanks for the update! We're a community-driven initiative, and if you have time, you are very welcome to edit the airport entry to make the changes. If not, then hopefully one of our other volunteers will have a chance to get to it.
LFSL
Toul AB doen’t exist anymore : it’s been converted to a solar farm...
LFSL is Brive-Souillac airport (BVE).
Please update your database.
re: This airport should move soon to another place
FWIW, the decision to move from Nantes Atlantique Airport in the South of Nantes to Notre Dame Des Landes in the North of Nantes has been abandoned.

Friendliest airport/club
We arrived there in G-FIZZ back in October we were treated to a tour of the museum and biplane aircraft. The club chairman insisted we put our aircraft in the hanger for the night.
Looking forward to returning.

Current situation regarding visits
I would lime to visit Cazaux, but understand public visits were not allowed. Is that still the case? If so, is there somewhere outside the base where the aircraft can be viewed?

Another complicated airport
Not a great transit airport, not a place you want to be, bad service, lousy shops and restaurants, no resting area.
The place to fly
Chambley is open to civil air trafic ultralight, planes, helicopters are welcome since 2010, AVGAS, JET A1, UL91 are avialable, a restaurant and a maintenance station for aircraft are on the field. there are no landing fees for the moment. Chambley is the location of the biggest hot air ballon meeting of the world : 456 ballons taking off in the same time in july 2017.

nearest to Normandie Omaha Beach
Airfield position
It's some km more to the west, 3 km East of La Selle d'ANdon
Best lunch
The terminal building is sometimes open, if not then you don't pay landing fees. If no ATC then you have to speak French & close your flight plan by calling Rennes or Brest. There is a gate at the left side of terminal, the current code is 1970 then lunch at the Routier café 2 mins walk to the right, (spot the lorries!) Excellent value @ 13euros including wine, not that you will be drinking...
RAF Special Ops WW2
This was the location of SOE agents Szabo and Bob Staunton being picked up by Lysander on 31 April 1944.

Terminal closure
Went this week and terminal openish! Chambre de commerce man there to pay landing fee to & bar open.
When terminal closed there is a side gate if you can get the code from someone & then get a fantastic Relais meal two mins walk from front door, 12/50euros for 4 courses, exceptional value.
Multiple IATA/ICAO codes
According to Wikipedia (and verified in IATA code search) this airport has three active IATA codes: "BSL (Basel) is the Swiss code, MLH (Mulhouse) is the French code and EAP (EuroAirport) is the neutral code."
Is there a good way to store all three values in the IATA field? Maybe all three codes separated by delimiting characters something like "BSL/EAP/MLH"? Or must there only be one IATA code?
It also appears to have two ICAO codes: LFSB and LSZM.
