Maliana lies to the west of Dili, near the land border with Indonesia. The most direct route, which takes about 20 minutes, requires an altitude of at least 4500 ft. However we can still get there if there is low cloud, by flying around the coast and up the wide river valley, which takes about 30 minutes.
Runway directions: 11/29
Length: 860 m (680 m for take-off 11 and landing 29)
Altitude: 700 ft
Surface: Dirt/Gravel
Slope: 1% down to west
Obstructions: High terrain to east/south-east. People, animals and vehicles frequently on airstrip.
