Timor Air/SkyAirWorld
Does anyone know when Timor Air is due to start flights between Darwin and Dili? I've read reports they were due to start up in early February this year, but nothing seems to have happened.
I will be in Darwin for a family event in September and am hoping to do a side trip to Dili while I'm up there. I'm hoping the introduction of Timor Air will mean cheaper flights than what Air North are currently offering. Does the delay have anything to do with SkyAirWorld "pausing" to restructure, seeing that they were reportedly going to operate Timor Air's leased plane for the first 12 months? |
SAW are falling apart as we speak. You can forget all about the Timor service.
|
Thanks for that. I am prepared to pay Air North's fare, I was just hoping some competition may have made it cheaper or offered a variety in schedule.

I see where the 2 E-190 went to Broome today.......leaving the country?
|
Apparently so according to a post on another Board.
So the Darwin-Dili flights may be in danger as may be the Perth-Christmas Is-Cocos Is flights which SkyAirWorld were to commence in April, taking over from National Jet (Cobham). |
Didnt SAW recently lease/purchase DJ ex VBT???
|
Yeah SAW are over and done with. Went into administration this week.
The E190s went back to the lessor but were impounded briefly in BME before continuing on. Timor and Coco/Xmas Island runs are dead. Shame for those staff involved. Management made some bad choices. That's putting it nicely. |
Radi yes, Timor Air signed a agreement with Skyairworld, but what is there to stop them from signing with another airline.To say Timor Air runs are gone is not necessarily correct.Timor is a separate country and they are very keen to start a airline.
I dont believe this saga is over yet either. Also the E-170 is still in BNE. |
Where the hell did they get a lease / purchase of the 737-700
There were rumours they had got a NATO contract, but it all turned out to be bogus - |
