I just leased 20 A321s to start a new hub in Basel, but I can't use them because of political restrictions which don't exist in real life but for some reason do in this game so before I just declare bankruptcy and stop playing I thought someone else might want to have it?

Apparently geographical location [of the airport] matters more than political reality.

Personally I disagree...

No it isn't. The city is in Switzerland and the airport was built on French land using Swiss money in 1946 for joint operation by the German, French and Swiss authorities.

I understand that it can't be in all three countries due to the limitations of the game, but considering that the majority of it's traffic in real life is swiss and France already has many airports for players to choose from, putting it into France makes no sense at all and just disadvantages players based in Switzerland in games with political restrictions (why any game has political restrictions is another question).

But tbh, I don't even care, I'm not planning on playing any more of this. This thread was just for someone else to have the airline if they wanted it.
