Sending Cargo/Packages between Singapore & Dili

Air Timor air cargo to and from Dili is consigned via Singapore using a Silk Air A319 aircraft. As Silk Air is a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, we recommend Singapore Airlines for cargo to Singapore as air cargo transfer procedures are already in place.

Other ports of departure – contact the air cargo agent in the port of departure for latest delivery times, costs and procedures.

All air cargo agents have been advised that no consignment is to be accepted for forwarding to Dili via Singapore unless the following documentation is provided:

1. Commercial invoice must be prepared and provided to the air cargo agent. This must be on company letterhead addressed to the company receiving the goods on Dili
2. Statement of contents must be prepared and provided to the Air Cargo agent. This document must contain the approximate weight of the consignment, the number of packages delivered to the freight agent and a detailed description of the goods.
   Any consignments without this paperwork will  not be accepted by the Air Cargo agent.

Dangerous Goods

Carriage of dangerous goods is NOT permitted under any circumstances.

Live Animals

Carriage of live animals is NOT permitted under any circumstances. Live animals are not permitted in the passenger cabin under international regulations, and the cargo compartments in the A319/A320 aircraft are neither pressurised nor temperature controlled.

Cargo Weight Items

An overall weight restriction applies for all cargo consignments. Item in excess of 150 kg cannot be accepted. Any items in excess of 120 kg should be the subject of advance notice to Air Timor, as special bracing may be required in the aircraft and special handling required at Dili to safely offload these items.

The maximum allowable load density is 50 kg / sq foot.

Cargo Dimensions

These are restricted by the floor and cargo door dimensions of the aircraft, an Airbus A319. This type of aircraft does not carry containers and as such, it is more suitable for loose cargo. All items must comply with size restrictions. The table below indicated maximum dimensions of cargo.

Note that some latitude is allowed with these figures, particularly in relation to articles that are not heavy. Should oversized carriage be required, it is necessary to contact Air Timor before consigning the goods. Air Timor will then obtain special clearance to carry the goods providing they will fit into the cargo compartments.

Dimensions for each piece of cargo - (Length x Breath x Height) :

For Airbus A320 : 169 cm x 147 cm x 117 cm
For Airbus A319 : 169 cm x 133 cm x 117 cm
