About This Airport

Citilink, Batik Air Malaysia, Qantas and Airnorth are the carriers that keep Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (DIL) connected to Southeast Asia and Australia — making it Timor-Leste's only airport with regular international service. Named after independence-era national hero Nicolau dos Reis Lobato, it sits in the capital, Dili. Air cargo is modest, typically under 500 tonnes a year (about 326 tonnes in 2017) and dominated by imports for the oil and gas sector, with bulk goods moving by sea and cargo facilities still underdeveloped. A runway extension and new terminals are planned to lift capacity. Customs is handled by the Timor-Leste customs authority. For forwarders, DIL is the national reference point, as the country's other fields — Baucau, Suai and Oecusse — carry no scheduled traffic.
