Will Timor Air finally take to the skies?

Timor Air is making another attempt to start service - and plans to fly connections to East Timor's capital, Dili and Darwin by the middle of this year using a dash 8 leased from Vincent Aviation.

It is reported that Timor Air would like to acquire two boeing 737-300s in order to serve Singapore and Denpasar, Bali from Dili.
