KUALA LUMPUR, 1 April 2026: ASEAN\u2019s newest airline, Aero Dili, inaugurated flights between its home base in Dili, Timor-Leste\u2019s capital, and Kuala Lumpur on 28 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the airline\u2019s Facebook post, it schedules twice-weekly flights on Tuesday and Saturday using a 122-seat Airbus A319-100. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cAs we grow, we hope to continue opening more routes and connecting even more destinations across the region, providing tourists and business travellers with a more convenient travel option between Dili and Kuala Lumpur,\u201d the airline noted. \u201cLanding at Kuala Lumpur International Airport marks an important step in increasing connectivity between Malaysia and Timor-Leste, thus stimulating trade, tourism and people-to-people ties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new DIL-KUL service figured prominently in the airline\u2019s sales promotions at the NATAS Travel Fair in Singapore, held last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASEAN officially welcomed Timor-Leste as its 11th member last October 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aero Dili launched operations with daily flights to Bali, Indonesia, in May 2023, and followed with a weekly flight from Dili to Singapore in February 2024. Media reports suggested it also flies to Fuzhou, China, but the service does not show on online flight timetables or on the airline\u2019s website booking page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aero Dili plans to expand to Darwin, Australia, possibly in May 2026, with twice-weekly flights competing with Qantas, which schedules daily flights on the route. It is also considering flights to Bangkok, Thailand, and Manila, the Philippines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
