AIP referenceWPDL - Timor-Leste AIP (published by AACTL); no public eAIP portal for Timor-Leste was locatable online as of Sep 2026 - AACTL's own website hosts airport maps and TL CASR regulations but not a full published AIP/eAIP document set.
Operating hoursNot H24 - daytime-only scheduled operations, no confirmed night flying (this is Timor-Leste's only controlled, scheduled-service airport); exact published tower/ATC hours are not available in any located public source and were not independently confirmed - verify with ANATL or a handling agent before operating.
TerminalsSingle terminal building with separate arrival, departure and VIP sections; a JICA-financed new two-storey international terminal (approximately 11,653 sqm, roughly a US$44 million grant) is under construction as part of a runway-and-terminal expansion (groundbreaking 20 May 2025, main construction from 6 October 2025), sized for anticipated 2030 passenger demand, with completion targeted for 2028.

Pax figure is an ESTIMATE - ANATL/AACTL publish no official passenger series; 2018 traffic ran roughly 275,000 (per AIP/JICA/WFP-sourced data), so growth to roughly 300,000 by 2025 is inferred from added capacity (Aero Dili introduced its first jet, an A319, in 2023 and launched Denpasar service 12 May 2023, then added Singapore Feb 2024, an A320, Xiamen 14 Feb 2025, Fuzhou 26 Jan 2026, Kuala Lumpur 28 Mar 2026 and Darwin 21 Jun 2026) rather than a published count - and note that Aero Dili suspended Fuzhou and Singapore service and cut Xiamen/Kuala Lumpur frequencies around April 2026 amid a domestic fuel-supply crisis, so actual 2025-2026 traffic may run below this estimate; verify current schedules before relying on this figure. The single 1,850 m runway (08/26) has no ILS and terrain nearby forces a steep, largely visual approach; a JICA/ADB-financed expansion held its groundbreaking ceremony 20 May 2025 with main construction starting 6 October 2025, to extend the runway in stages toward 2,100 m, then 2,500 m (extending westward toward the sea), then 3,000 m, and build the new terminal, with completion targeted for 2028 - expect periodic construction-related NOTAMs and possible capacity constraints through the build.

STAT DILI (Servicos Transportes Aereos de Timor)
Founded March 2000 by J. Bosco A. Guterres; self-described as the first private airport ground handling company in Timor-Leste (confirmed on statdili.co homepage, which also states '25+ years of experience'). Passenger handling (check-in, boarding, baggage) and ramp handling (marshalling, parking/positioning) at Dili airport; a separate client-logo page independently confirms an airline client list including Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Silk Air, Citilink, Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, DHL and other regional/charter carriers (statdili.co/clients).

STAT DILI (Servicos Transportes Aereos de Timor)
Company's case-study page lists 'aircraft refuelling' with 'fuel quality checks' among ramp services (statdili.co/ourcases/airport-ground-handling), but that same paragraph also claims de-icing/anti-icing 'to remove frost, ice, or snow' — impossible at this tropical airport — indicating the paragraph is generic templated ground-handling copy rather than content customized to Dili. Downgraded to unconfirmed rather than deleted; if genuine, the fuel product itself would be supplied by PITSA and ETO (see separate listings), with STAT functioning only as into-plane agent.

Pertamina International Timor, SA (PITSA)
Named as one of two companies supplying Jet A-1 fuel at Dili (Presidente Nicolau Lobato) airport per the Global Logistics Cluster's Timor-Leste aviation profile (lca.logcluster.org); the page is access-restricted (HTTP 403), so this rests on a secondary summary of that source rather than the primary page. Wikipedia's airport article names no fuel suppliers at all, so no independent corroboration or refutation was found. No independent company contact details located.

Esperansa Timor Oan (ETO)
Named as the second of two Jet A-1 suppliers at Dili airport, and the only one of the two also supplying Avgas, per the Global Logistics Cluster's Timor-Leste aviation profile (lca.logcluster.org); the page is access-restricted (HTTP 403), so this rests on a secondary summary of that source.

STAT DILI (Servicos Transportes Aereos de Timor)
Case-study page lists loading/unloading of catering supplies (meals, beverages) among ramp services, but this again sits inside the same generic paragraph that also claims impossible de-icing at a tropical airport, so treated as unconfirmed rather than verified; no dedicated flight-kitchen facility identified at or near DIL (statdili.co/ourcases/airport-ground-handling).

STAT DILI (Servicos Transportes Aereos de Timor)
Same case-study page lists 'aircraft cleaning, lavatory servicing' among ramp services, but this sits inside the identical generic paragraph that also claims impossible de-icing/anti-icing for a tropical airport, so treated as unconfirmed template boilerplate rather than a verified Dili-specific offering (statdili.co/ourcases/airport-ground-handling).

Ground support equipment
Available
STAT DILI (Servicos Transportes Aereos de Timor)
Owns and operates its own ground support equipment fleet — hi-loader, push-back car, passenger step car, GTC, and lavatory service car — to support its own ramp handling; this specific named equipment list appears independently on two separate site pages (statdili.co and statdili.co/ourcases/airport-ground-handling), not solely within the suspect boilerplate paragraph. Not offered as third-party GSE rental.
