About Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport
Overview
Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Timor-Leste, located in Dili, the nation's capital. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for this Southeast Asian island nation, supporting both commercial and potential military operations. Its medium-sized classification indicates capability for regional and international passenger and cargo traffic.
Flying Conditions
Situated at 154 feet above mean sea level, the airport experiences tropical maritime weather conditions typical of the region. Pilots should anticipate potential significant wind variations, particularly during seasonal monsoon transitions. The airport's coastal location near the Timor Sea suggests potential for rapid localized weather changes and occasional crosswind challenges.
Notable Features
The single runway (08/26) measures 6,065 feet in length, constructed with an asphalt surface suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic position at coordinates -8.546562, 125.524507 places the airport in a relatively flat coastal terrain, which generally provides straightforward approach and departure profiles. The airport's elevation and surface type offer predictable operational conditions for most commercial aircraft classes.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 orientation suggests potential wind alignment variations that pilots must carefully assess during arrival and departure planning. The asphalt runway's length of 6,065 feet provides adequate clearance for most regional aircraft types, though precise performance calculations remain critical. Standard approach procedures should incorporate local terrain and potential maritime wind influences specific to Dili's coastal environment.
