The board of directors comprises three Timorese representatives, including the chairman. The head office of Air Timor is located at Dili International Airport, while an administrative and operational office has been established at Changi International Airport.

History

Prior to operating in Timor-Leste, 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 there as well as in Singapore. Following approval from the Timorese Government, Austasia Airlines commenced its first scheduled charter flights from Singapore to Dili in August 2008, operating a twice weekly schedule on Tuesday and Saturday with an Airbus A319 aircraft wet-leased from SilkAir.

In 2010 Austasia Airlines lodged its application to become a national company and change its name to Air Timor S. A., which was approved by the Timor-Leste government.

In October 2014 the airline commenced operations from Bali, Indonesia direct to Dili, under another charter operation.

On March 30, 2019, Air Timor made their last flight from Dili (DIL) to Singapore (SIN). On June 14, 2019, Air Timor resumed its Dili to Kupang flights, a joint service with Transnusa. Currently it operates a thrice weekly flight to Kupang using the ATR 72-600.

On October 17, 2019, Air Timor announced the resumption of the Dili-Singapore route starting October 31, 2019, on an Airbus A319 operated by Drukair. The route will be flown twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays.{{cite web |url=https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/285714/drukair-files-east-timor-schedule-from-jan-2020/ |title=Drukair files East Timor schedule from Jan 2020 |publisher=Routesonline.com |date=2019-08-05}}{{cite web |title=AIR TIMOR - Explore the world with us |url=https://www.facebook.com/AirTimor.ExploreTheWorldWithUs/posts/2743754395658292 |website=www.facebook.com |language=en}}
