Is there no way to open a base in another country

[GDK]

that's my intention which I'll be trying if I can get any slots...none available at Singapore it seems

Haha... Empty slots in Singapore is very very rare in TMT2 and ATB. You should have do it when the game just started
I used to start the game with ATR and fly only to Singapore. I think all my first 8 aircraft in the game were flying that route and I got around 40 slots there. I was quiet worry that someone will complaint I'm storing up slots....

I got a few with one of my BAe's and a 757 but if I were to move those slots to the Saabs, the BAe would have nowhere to fly to as there is not enough demand from my base at Kuching on any remaining routes for the jet and I wont be opening another base yet.

Pax demand at Kuching isn't really good. Or should I say pax demand in Malaysia is not so good, except at WMKK
How high yield value can your BAe make on that route?

[raptorva]

on routes to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur? Average LF is 88%

How about "Yield, ¢ / RPK"  and "Revenue, ¢ / ASK" ?
The value of yield and revenue is different on different aircraft flying the same route.
I used to get revenue of 45-50 with ATR42 and Saab 2000 on WMKK-WSSS.
