Airnorth announces additional services Darwin to Dili

Airnorth has introduced two additional services from Darwin to Dili in Timor‐Leste.

“The new flights add more than 300 additional seats per week on this sector, benefitting both business and leisure passengers”, Ms Simone Saunders Chief Executive Officer of Airnorth said.

“We are launching these services to further support flexible options for business and leisure travel to and from Timor‐Leste, Australia’s closest neighbour.

“These new services will also provide the resource sector with additional options and improved timings and connectivity choices in both Dili and Darwin.

“The route is now entirely operated by Airnorth’s new generation E170 jet, the third of which arrived at Airnorth’s hangar in May this year”, Ms Saunders said.

The additional services will result in some timing changes which are included in the schedule below. New flights are now open for sale for immediate travel.

Reservations can be made at www.airnorth.com.au; with Airnorth Reservations Office on 1800 627 474 or your local travel agent.
