Angkor International Airport to open October 2023
Exploring the historical temples of Angkor Archaeological Park is about to get easier with a new international airport scheduled to open in Siem Reap, Cambodia in October 2023. Offering convenient access to the provincial capital and its archaeological wonders, the airport is located just 51 km from the city centre and 40 km from the landmark Angkor Wat Temple.
The US$880-million construction project is now 92 per cent complete and it will be open for flight validation in mid-May 2023. New Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport is a 4E class facility which underwent construction in March 2020. It is now equipped to handle long-haul aircraft.
