Baucau or Cakung airport is located 6.5Km west of Baucau town
and has the status of an international airport as it has the
capability of receiving international flights, however it is
currently unattended.
The airport is available for use between sunrise and sunset;
operators intending to operate into Baucau must contact CAD at +670
3317 110 ext 101 or 102. Fax No. +670 3317 111
The runway is in very good condition (better than Dili airport) and
can serve Ilyushin Il-76 (Max takeoff weight: 157,000 kg) or
Antonov 124s.
There is an apron with asphalt surface 100m x 108m connected to the
runway by a 37 m stretch of asphalt taxiway.
The control tower is still in place, but is dysfunctional although
Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts are available through the Darwin MET
office. The terminal buildings are currently used as a barracks and
operations canter for UNPOL border patrol units.
However, as there is no traffic control, fire fighting equipment or
ground handling facilities, an advance team would be needed to set
up communications and security for emergency operations.
