The main airport in East Timor is at Dili (Comoro), 1850m of undulating ashpalt. The alternate, which is now non operational is Baucau (Cakung), 2500m of concrete.

Baucau was where TAA used to operate a F-27 Friendship service from Darwin prior to 1975.

It has been suggested that Baucau could have been another Bali if circumstances had been different
