A new Siem Reap International Airport project, which costs $880 million, is being built on a 750ha property located 51km South-East of downtown Siem Reap and 40km from Angkor Archaeological Park and will be built in three phases. It will be able to handle seven million passengers in the first phase of development; and is to be finished in March 2023.

The agreement to build the airport was signed between the Cambodian government and China’s state-run Yunnan Investment Holdings Ltd in 2017.

The airport is at an elevation of 60 feet (18 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 05/23 with a concrete surface measuring 2,550m × 45m (8,366 ft × 148 ft).

Sin Chansereyvutha, a spokesman for the State Secretariat for Civil Aviation (SSCA) said that “the first phase was deemed 25 percent complete” after an onsite visit by SSCA secretary of state Mao Havannall on June 15. Construction of the foundation for the passenger terminal is 98 per cent complete and the 3.3km runway is almost finished. He said the pandemic interrupted work in April as some experts could not travel from China to Cambodia. However, the company has implemented night shifts to meet the schedule. He also said the airport can handle seven million passengers in the first phase of development – 3.3km of runway, 10 million passengers by 2030 with runway capacity of 3.6km and 20 million by 2050 with runway capacity of 4km.

The company will invest $500 million for the first and second phases, which will allow medium-sized passenger aircraft like the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 to land. Another $300 million will be allocated for the third phase.

Lu Wei, Chairman of the board of AIA, said with the support of SSCA, the construction project will be fully completed on March 14, 2023. The company is now working closely with the technical team of the SSCA to focus on the installation of the technical facilities and the design of the airport.
