Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport, code DIL, is the main international airport of Timor-Leste and the arrival point for most visitors to the capital, Dili. It was formerly called Comoro Airport, after the area where it stands, and many locals still use that name.
For most travellers, the airport is the starting point for a trip to Dili, the island of Atauro or the mountains of the interior.
The airport lies in the Comoro area on the western edge of Dili, about 6 km from the city centre. The drive into town usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.
A single passenger building handles arrivals and departures, with separate areas for each. The runway is used by narrow-body jets and smaller aircraft. Facilities are basic compared with large hubs, so bring anything you need for waiting.
Scheduled flights are operated by carriers including Aero Dili, Airnorth, Qantas, Citilink and Batik Air Malaysia. International routes connect Dili with Darwin, Denpasar in Bali and Kuala Lumpur, and Aero Dili also serves Singapore and domestic points. Some routes run on selected days, so check the timetable.
The large Cristo Rei statue on its headland east of the city is a favourite viewpoint, and the waterfront road is lined with beaches. Atauro Island, reached by boat from Dili, is known for snorkelling and diving.
Review Timor-Leste's entry and visa requirements before you fly, as rules differ by nationality. Carry some cash for taxis, because card payment is not always available. Flight frequencies are modest, so if you have a connection in Darwin, Bali or Kuala Lumpur, leave plenty of time between flights.
