( Pilbara Airlines )

♦ Air Timor first commenced its corporate life as charter airline under the name Austasia Airlines operating charters between Australia and Indonesia from 2001 until 2007. In 2007 it relocated to Timor-Leste and Austasia Airlines was registered in Timor-Leste. Following approval from the Timor-Leste Government Austasia Airlines commenced its first scheduled charter flights from Singapore to Dili in Aug2008, operating a twice weekly schedule on Tuesday and Saturday with a wet leased A.319 aircraft from Silk Air. In 2010 Austasia Airlines lodged its application to become a national company and change its name to Air Timor, which was approved by the East Timor government. In Sep2019, it was again renamed, to Pilbara Airlines but now appears to not be starting operations
