Baucau Airport (Portuguese: Aeroporto de Baucau, Tetum: Aeroportu Baukau, IATA: BCH, ICAO: WPEC), formerly Cakung Airport, is an unattended and mostly unused airport near Baucau, East Timor.[1][2][3] It is the largest airport in East Timor and has a much longer runway than Dili's Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport, long enough to handle large commercial airliners.[5][6]: 22
