Flying in the smallest plane in Timor-Leste

Flying in the smallest plane in Timor-Leste with capacity for only 5 passengers. The flight time is only 15 minutes between Atauro and Dili. Gippsland Aeronautics GA-8 Airvan A utilitarian aircraft, built in Australia, the GA-8 was conceived to bridge the gap between Cessna’s 206 and 208 models. MAF International operates both the normally-aspirated GA-8 and the turbo-charged GA-8 TC320 in three of our Asia-Pacific programmes. The main drawback for MAF is that the GA-8 burns expensive and scarce Avgas fuel. The GA8 has been designed for use in remote areas and from austere air strips, performing tasks such as passenger services, freight, sightseeing, parachuting, observation, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and search and rescue operations. Its design emphasises ruggedness and ease of use. First flown on 3 March 1995 and type certified under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 23 requirements during summer 2004, the GA8 has been flown by a diverse range of operators throughout the world. Since its introduction, improved models featuring more powerful engines have been introduced; an enlarged turboprop-powered derivative, designated as the Gippsland GA10, has also been developed. A floatplane model of the GA8 has also been produced. Timor-Leste’s Ataúro Island is the untouched ecotourism gem of Southeast Asia. Just a short boat ride from the capital of Dili, Ataúro offers everything you could imagine or want in a relaxing tropical getaway: lush mountains with dozens of trails to explore; white sand beaches and gently lapping waves; volcanic mountains shrouded with wispy clouds; people and communities still living by local traditions; and the most biodiverse reefs in the entire world, with hundreds of dolphins and whales swarming the surface. Our website offers a detailed overview of the island, places to go and stay, things to do, and how to plan your trip. Nestled in the famous Coral Triangle, Ataúro reefs offer pristine dive and snorkel sites with a dazzling diversity of marine life–our reefs are amongst the least explored and the most ecologically diverse on the planet. East Timor, island country in the eastern Lesser Sunda Islands, at the southern extreme of the Malay Archipelago. It occupies the eastern half of the island of Timor, the small nearby islands of Atauro (Kambing) and Jaco, and the enclave of Ambeno, including the town of Pante Makasar, on the northwestern coast of Timor. Dili is the capital and largest city. East Timor is bounded by the Timor Sea to the southeast, the Wetar Strait to the north, the Ombai Strait to the northwest, and western Timor (part of the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara) to the southwest. The eastern part of Timor island is rugged, with the mountains rising to 9,721 feet (2,963 metres) at Mount Tatamailau (Tata Mailau) in the centre of a high plateau. The area has a dry tropical climate and moderate rainfall. Hilly areas are covered with sandalwood. Scrub and grass grow in the lowlands, together with coconut palms and eucalyptus trees. There are hot springs and numerous mountain streams. Wildlife includes the cuscus (a species of marsupial), monkeys, deer, civet cats, snakes, and crocodiles. Most of the people are of Papuan, Malayan, and Polynesian origin and are predominantly Christian. About 40 different Papuan and Malayan languages or dialects are spoken, dominated by Tetum. Portuguese is spoken by a small fraction of the population, but it is one of the country’s two official languages, the other being Tetum; Indonesian and English are considered to be “working” languages. Nearly all of the population is Roman Catholic, with tiny Protestant and Muslim minorities. Some vestiges of traditional religious beliefs are also practiced in conjunction with Catholicism. About seven-tenths of the population is rural. Of those classified as urban, roughly half live in Dili.
