Gateway to Timor-Leste's remote Oecusse enclave.

Location
Oecussi-Ambeno, Timor-Leste
Oecusse Route of the Sandalwood International Airport (IATA: OEC, ICAO: WPOC) serves Oecussi-Ambeno, a small exclave of Timor-Leste surrounded by Indonesian West Timor. The airport provides a vital air link for this geographically isolated region, which is otherwise accessible from the Timorese mainland primarily by sea. The airport has undergone development as part of Timor-Leste's efforts to improve infrastructure in the Oecusse Special Economic Zone (ZEESM), which aims to attract investment and development to the enclave. Air connectivity is considered essential to the zone's growth ambitions. Flight operations are limited, with domestic services connecting Oecusse to the capital Dili. The airport's capacity and infrastructure remain modest, reflecting the small population and remote nature of the enclave.
Terminals
The airport has a small, single terminal facility suited to limited domestic passenger traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into Oecusse town is available via local taxis and informal shared vehicles.
Airlines here
Aero Dili has operated domestic services between Oecusse and Dili, though scheduled service availability has been intermittent.
