Darwin is now home to 'Australia's shortest and longest international flights', with the first of Qantas's new regular passenger flights to Dili departing the NT capital.
QantasLink chief executive Petrea Bradford said the Darwin to Dili route would help build the link between Australia and one of its "closest neighbours".
Three return flights to Dili will operate each week on the airline's E190 aircraft, ramping up to five weekly flights from July. On Tuesday, Singapore Airlines resumed regular passenger flights to Darwin for the first time in 23 years. Tourism Minister Natasha Fyles said the Darwin to Singapore flights would "provide easy access for international tourists from all our key source markets, and beyond".
