I think Microsoft/Asobo want to show off the world so there are random missions all over the place and are perhaps a bit worried that people will get bored doing all their missions in the same area. I went from doing a couple of first flight missions at my home airport to being forced to do a flightseeing mission in Venice before I could move on. I think the best solution would be to offer both options, so that we can either play more realistically regarding the position of our aircraft, or just dart around the world as is currently the practice.
