Construction of Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, which is scheduled to be launched in October, is 98% complete as of June 30, a top official has said.
Sin Chanserivutha, Undersecretary of State and spokesman for the Secretariat of State for Civil Aviation, said that employees of the old airport who wished to join the new airport will be retained in accordance with the legal framework and based on their seniority, role and duties.
The new airport is officially named “Siem Reap Angkor International Airport” and is code-named VDSA (ICAO code) and SAI (IATA code).
An estimated amount of $880 million was spent in 2019, which rose to $1,100 million by 2022.
Chanserivutha added that the old airport will be maintained in the same position as before or may be better (depending on the assessment and measurement of actual capacity).
The coordination of closing the old airport to open a new airport is evolving in accordance with the conditions and technical procedures smoothly in accordance with the schedule and time as agreed and drafted.
The Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport project is located in Tayek commune, Sot Nikum district, about 51km from Siem Reap city and 40km from Angkor Wat temple.
The construction of the airport began in March 2020 by AIAI.
