Siem Reap Angkor International Airport has handled more than 4.63 million passengers in three years

China News Service, Phnom Penh, October 17 (Reporter Yang Qiang) Cambodia's Siem Reap Angkor International Airport stated on the 17th that as a landmark project for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and the construction of a China-Cambodia community with a shared future, the airport has a cumulative passenger throughput of 4.6387 million passengers since its opening on October 16, 2023, with more than 50,000 flights guaranteed, 17 airlines operating, and navigation points covering 20 cities in 10 countries.

In the three years since Siem Reap Angkor International Airport opened to air traffic, countless Chinese tourists have visited famous scenic spots such as Angkor Wat and Tonle Sap Lake in Siem Reap, Cambodia, to experience the local customs and customs. At the same time, many Cambodian people and international tourists go to China to study, work and travel through the airport.

In addition to ensuring transportation hubs, Siem Reap Angkor International Airport has also continued to enhance the airport's influence by undertaking a series of activities such as the construction of the China-Cambodia Cultural Corridor, the Spring Festival "Descendants of the Dragon Sending Blessings in the Year of the Dragon" pop-up event, the "Hello, Beijing" photography exhibition and food tasting event, and the installation ceremony of Zhou Daguan's statue, and has gradually become an important window for people-to-people exchanges between China and Cambodia.

From September to October this year, Siem Reap Angkor International Airport's "Flight and Travel Integration" promotion conferences were held in Kunming, Chengdu, and Beijing. By promoting a variety of direct-to-Siem Reap-themed tourism products from Kunming, relying on the two modes of "Chengdu direct flight" and "Beijing transit combined transportation", the invitation to "go to Angkor together" was issued to international tourists, further connecting China's air route network to Siem Reap.

Siem Reap Angkor International Airport is one of Cambodia's three major international aviation hubs. Officials from the Cambodian Civil Aviation State Secretariat recently stated that in the first eight months of this year, the country’s Phnom Penh Drexel International Airport, Siem Reap Angkor International Airport and Sihanoukville International Airport received a total of 4.1598 million passengers, a total of 42,200 takeoffs and landings, and an air cargo volume of 66,600 tons.
