Fuiloro is a suco and village on the northeastern tip of Timor-Leste. The district capital Lospalos lies in the suco of Fuiloro.
There is an old Portuguese fort at Fuiloro village, where there is also an arched entry. At the entrance to the village, there is a traditional Fataluku-style house on the side of the road. The Don Bosco College is situated in Fuiloro.
Abisu (Vila-De-Avis, Fuiloro) Airfield, a short distance to the west of the village on the road to Lautém, was constructed prior to World War II with two strips. During the war, Japanese Army Air Force (JAAF) bombers used it for forward operations. It is still in use as Abisu or Fuiloro Airport {{airport codes||WPFL}}.{{cite web |title=Abisu Airfield (Vila-De-Avis, Fuiloro) Lautem Municipality East Timor |url=https://pacificwrecks.com/airfield/timor/abisu/index.html |website=Pacific Wrecks |access-date=5 February 2025 |date=19 July 2024}}{{cite web |title=WPFL Fuiloro Airport (WPFL) |url=https://www.flightaware.com/live/airport/WPFL |website=FlightAware |access-date=5 February 2025 |language=en}}
