Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are the most common and convenient option. They are readily available outside the arrivals hall. Fares are not metered and should be negotiated with the driver before starting the trip. A typical fare to central Dili is around $10 USD, and the journey takes approximately 15-20 minutes.

Rental Cars

Major international car rental agencies are not present at the airport. Car and 4WD rentals, often with a driver, can be arranged in advance through local companies or hotels. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle before you arrive.

Public Transportation

There is no direct public bus or shuttle service from the airport terminal. The local public transport consists of shared minibuses called 'mikroléts' which can be flagged down on the main road outside the airport. This option is very cheap but not recommended for visitors with luggage due to overcrowding and unclear routes.

re: Comoro Posted by david on November 1, 2011

Reply to @Ozguy: Good catch -- thanks. We had Timor-Leste as a separate country, but a few of the airports (including Comoro) were still under Indonesia. I think they're all properly assigned now -- please feel free to edit any incorrect airports you find, or let me know, and I'll fix them ASAP.

Comoro Posted by Ozguy on November 1, 2011

A bit surprising that Timor Leste has been an independent nation since 2002, yet still appears listed under Indonesia. I notice it is that way in the Jeppesen manuals too.

Lots of high terrain to the south, necessitating a steep descent when quite close to the airport. Runway is pretty rough, but adequate. Lots of helicopters here, mainly associated with UN work.

Only controlled airport Posted by david on March 21, 2008

This is the only controlled airport in East Timor, and the only one with scheduled airline service (to Darwin, Australia, and Denpasar, Indonesia.

The Australian Defence Force took control of the airport during the international Operation Astute peacekeeping mission, which began in May 2006 during the riots in Dili between government supporters and disaffected troops.
