Siem Reap Airport on schedule
The developer of the new Siem Reap Airport has confirmed that construction will finish as planned in March 2023 – despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The firm says it plans for the project to be at least 67 per cent complete by the year-end 2021. Once overall construction is finalised, the focus will shift to complying with air operation requirements.
The US$900 airport is located 51-km south-east of Siem Reap, the gateway town to the ruins of Angkor, the home of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th centuries. The airport is forecast to accommodate up to 10 million arrivals annually.
