'''EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg''' (de: Flughafen Basel-Mülhausen-Freiburg; fr: Aéroport de Bâle-Mulhouse Fribourg), also known as '''EuroAirport''' or simply '''Basel-Mulhouse''' is the international airport that serves the city of Basel (CH), Mulhouse (F) and Freiburg (D). It's 6Km (3.7mi) North-west of Basel, 30Km (18Mi) South-east of Mulhouse and 77Km (47mi) South-west of Freiburg.


'''EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg''' ('''D:''' Flughafen Basel-Mülhausen-Freiburg; '''F:''' Aéroport de Bâle-Mulhouse Fribourg), also known as '''EuroAirport''' or simply '''Basel-Mulhouse''' is the international airport that servers the city of Basel (CH), Mulhouse (F) and Freiburg (D). It's 6Km (3.7mi) North-west of Basel, 30Km (18Mi) South-east of Mulhouse and 77Km (47mi) South-west of Freiburg.
Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is the only developed airport in [[FlightGear]] that is operated by 2 countries (Switzerland and France), hence the name "EuroAirport". The Airport lies completely on 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 on French soil.


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 because it used to be the former Swissair's Hub until 2001, after it's bankruptcy . Currently, the only Real airline with a Hub in Basel-Mulhouse is EasyJet Switzerland.
Because of the EuroAirport being bi-national, it has 3 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Air_Transport_Association_airport_code IATAs]: BSL (The Swiss code for Basel), MLH (The French code for Mulhouse) and EAP (international code for EuroAirport).

EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (de: Flughafen Basel-Mülhausen-Freiburg; fr: Aéroport de Bâle-Mulhouse Fribourg), also known as EuroAirport or simply Basel-Mulhouse is the international airport that serves the city of Basel (CH), Mulhouse (F) and Freiburg (D). It's 6Km (3.7mi) North-west of Basel, 30Km (18Mi) South-east of Mulhouse and 77Km (47mi) South-west of Freiburg.

Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is the only developed airport in FlightGear that is operated by 2 countries (Switzerland and France), hence the name "EuroAirport". The Airport lies completely on French soil (with public transport connections from Switzerland operated by SBB [Swiss Federal Railworks] 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 on French soil.

Because of the EuroAirport being bi-national, it has 3 IATAs: BSL (The Swiss code for Basel), MLH (The French code for Mulhouse) and EAP (international code for EuroAirport). This airport has a state similar to Geneva's Airport, excluding the multiple IATAs. Its ICAO code is LFSB.
