Prior to 1975 this airport was used for international flights, including those of Trans Australia Airlines from Australia, and as an air force base for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Following the Indonesian invasion in December 1975, Baucau Airport was taken over by the Indonesian military and closed to civilian traffic.
