We’re proud to work with the Government of Timor-Leste to facilitate upgrades to Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport in Timor-Leste’s capital, Dili.
The works include a new cargo terminal building, an animal and plant quarantine facility, upgrades to surrounding access roads and footpaths and the renewal of the terminal carpark and drop-off zones.
The airport upgrades will facilitate expanded passenger capacity and experience and compliance with critical international safety and security standards.
