Airports at each end
Leaving Bogotá
Bogotá is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is El Dorado International Airport (BOG), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Vanguardia Airport (VVC, 71 km).
Arriving in Dili
Dili is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (DIL), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,065 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Commander in Chief of FALINTIL, Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão, International Airport (UAI, 88 km), Baucau Airport (BCH, 91 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport | DIL | 6 km (4 mi) | 6,065 ft | 154 ft |
| Commander in Chief of FALINTIL, Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão, International Airport (regional) | UAI | 88 km (55 mi) | 4,921 ft | 96 ft |
| Baucau Airport (regional) | BCH | 91 km (57 mi) | 8,233 ft | 1,771 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 17,801 km (11,061 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
