Baucau (BCH):
Location:
Near Baucau, 2-3 hours drive from Dili.
Notes: This airport
is currently a Military/UN airfield and has no scheduled civilian flights. However, it is rumoured that this airport
may once again in the future become the main airport for East Timor, since its runway is larger than Dili's.
Notes
From a Traveller September 2011: Baucau Airport is still for official use only and wouldn't be convenient
anyway as it's on a plateau several kilometers from Baucau with no local
transportation. Public buses between Dili and Baucau (US$4 one way) pass
by the entrance to Baucau Airport.
