Baucau Airport has a much longer runway than Dili's Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport. Prior to 1975 this airport had been used for international flights, including those of Trans Australia Airlines from Australia. Following the Indonesian invasion in 1975, this airport was taken over by the Indonesian military and closed to civilian traffic.
During the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, the airport serves as a base for aircraft of the Indonesian Air Force, who were stationed for counter-insurgency effort toward the pro-independence guerilla.
