Over 2,600 Nautical Miles: flydubai Begins Its New Longest European Route

On August 2, flydubai began what is for now its longest European route. It is from Dubai where else? to Basel. The airport is officially called EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg what a mouthful due to its highly unusual geographic position. The Swiss and the French run it, and it is one of the few airports run by two countries. Strangely, the new routes celebration did not take place for five days after the first flight, hence only appearing in passing in my jam-packed weekly new routes article.
