Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is the only developed airport in [[FlightGear]] that is operated by 3 countries (Switzerland, France and Germany), hence the name "EuroAirport". The Airport lies completely in French soil (with public transport connections from Switzerland operated by SBB <nowiki>[Swiss Federal Railworks]</nowiki> and a local Bus line from Basel), but the airport is categorized as a Swiss airport. The reason why is due to a 1949 treaty with France which allowed Switzerland to build the airport in French soil.
