France VFR, a renowned French scenery developer, has released a new product for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) called Basel Mulhouse Airport (LFSB), joining the existing offerings from FSDreamteam and JustSim. Located near the border tripoint between France, Germany, and Switzerland, Basel Mulhouse Airport serves as the primary entry point to the region and saw 3.6 million passengers in 2021. The joint Swiss-French airport project dates back to the 1930s, with France providing the land and Switzerland covering construction costs.
Today, the airport is a hub for easyJet, and other passenger carriers operate on one of its two runways, while it also handles freight. Starting in April, Korean Air Cargo, Qatar Airways Cargo, and Air Canada Cargo will commence scheduled operations at Basel Mulhouse Airport.
