Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport, Dili, East Timor
Location: Dili, East Timor
Owner: Ministry of Transport and Communications
Operator: Air Navigation Administration Timor Leste (ANATL)
Presidente Nicolau Lobato International is an international airport serving Dili, the capital city of East Timor. The Airport currently has one runway. The runway can accommodate Code C aircrafts such as B737 and A320, but operations of these aircrafts are under significant restrictions on payload because the length of the runway is short. Following a review of available alternative options of runway expansion, the Government of Timor Leste has embarked on an airport upgrade and expansion project which will include the upgrades and construction of aprons, terminal and support facilities, and the expansion of the existing runway.
HGC was contracted by The International Finance Corporation (IFC) — a member of the World Bank Group, which is financing the expansion project, to review and provide feedback on an environmental consultant’s proposed aircraft noise modelling approach which would be undertaken to understand the noise exposures impact on communities surrounding the airport under the current and future scenarios.
