Boost for Cambodia’s tourism


9 July 2014

Cambodia’s Prime Minister says Asia Atlantic Airlines’ upcoming flights that will connect Thailand, Cambodia and Japan will benefit the country’s tourism industry.

The airline will fly from Thailand’s Suvarnabhumi Airport and stop in Phnom Penh before flying to Toyko’ Narita, with full traffic rights. The three weekly flights start 2 September and a service stopping in Siem Reap with four weekly flights will start 1 October. Cambodia’s two main international airports, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, commenced a USD100 million redevelopment in January to raise the capacity ceiling as there are signs that both airports are getting crowded during peak hours. Capacity will double to 5 million passengers a year when the projects are completed in 2016.

HIS sells two-way tours both out of Japan to Southeast Asia and also to Japan a business that has boomed since Japan awarded visa-free entry to specific ASEAN nations such as Malaysia and Thailand. Using a Boeing 767 with 217 seat the airline will fly to both Japan and South Korea, from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. It will fly to Tokyo Narita, Osaka and Kansai in Japan and Incheon International airports in South Korea.
