I have been following the Skyairworld and Timor Air stories and have not seen any recent news.
In January Skyairworld received regulatory approval to operate 14 flights per week Darwin to Denpasar direct and they were supposed to start on 16 Feb with one report indicating that they must start by the end of February or approval will be withdrawn.
Skyairworld also reportedly has a contract to operate flights for Timor Air between Darwin and Dili and on to Denpasar to start in February, but again no start yet.
The flytimorair website lists daily flights Darwin to Dili d.08:45 a.09:35 and Dili to Darwin d.15:50 a.17:40 - so presumably they play to fly Dili to Denpasar and return in between.
Lets hope there is a start to either service soon.
