Timor-Leste is a small country, essentially the eastern half of the island of Timor. The island has a mountainous spine running through the centre, so getting to each of our destinations is not always as straightforward as the map below might indicate - especially in the monsoon season when the cloud is low and many of the saddle points are blocked. Because most of our flying is medevacs or charters and Dili is by far the biggest town, we mostly do 'out and back' flights.
Each of the airstrips we fly to has its own challenges. Some are sealed runways (Dili, Baucau, Oecusse, Suai) while the others are gravel or grass. I'm in the process of writing more detailed posts about each airstrip - click the links below for more information.
