In order to create a base you have to make sure that the airport you want to serve is on the same continent as where you started the game. So if you started in Africa, you stay in Africa. This is an anti-competitive measure to ensure the very large airlines cannot flood all markets and to make the game fairer to everyone else. You also have to make sure you have the correct number of gates at the airport, the minimum is 4 gates to start off with. Of course you can rent many more before creating a base but it becomes very expensive at that point. There is also an restriction on the number of bases, again this is to stop very large airlines taking over an entire continent and squeezing the smaller airlines out. The limit is 6 bases. When hubs come online these will be limited to 4, so in total the maximum number of airports that an airline can fly from will be 10 (note that this limit does not apply to Alliance Routes).

Before you start

When you select your world, there is a column called "Focus Cities [Foreign] Total". In this column, there are numbers like this: [1]7. The number outside of the brackets is the total number of bases you may have. The number in the brackets is the number of bases you can have outside of the continent on which you start (i.e. foreign bases). This is to ensure very large airlines cannot flood all markets and to make the game fairer to everyone else. In order to create a base, you must have at least four gates rented at that airport.

If there are less than four gates available at an airport, and renting the remaining gates still doesn't give you four gates, then you cannot create a base there until additional gates are available.

Creating the Base

View Gates and Rent Gate page

If you have satisfied these requirements and you are ready to create a base, then go to either Rent Gates or View Gates, here you can see on the top right the options to open or close a base. Click on Open Base, then select the airport you have rented the 4 gates at and finally click Create Base. Remember that each international base also counts as two domestic bases; in the above example ([1]7), you can either have 7 domestic bases or 1 international and 5 domestic bases.

Creating a base costs 60x the price of a gate at that airport (e.g., in an airport where each gate's rent is €100,000, creating a base will incur a €6,000,000 one-time charge.), make sure you have enough money to create the base before you use money on the gates.

Once a base is established, you can return up to 3 gates immediately if you don't think you can fill up enough slots to keep all 4 gates. In addition, creating a base will now allow you to build a terminal.

Closing the Base

Closing a base is only possible when there are no routes departing that base. The easiest way to accomplish that is under the View Routes page, selecting the base you want to close under the Show Routes From: drop-down menu, selecting all routes by click on each checkbox, then clicking on the Close Routes button.

Once that has been done, you can find the Close Base button on the View Gates or Rent Gates page.
