COMMENCEMENT OF OPERATIONS OF SIEM REAP ANGKOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Siem Reap Angkor International Airport
Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI) is set to begin operations on 16 October 2023

It replaces the current Siem Reap International Airport (REP). All international and domestic flights will now operate from the new airport. For more information, visit the new airport's website at 首页-暹粒国际机场 (sai-airport.com).

The new airport is situated in Kriel Pong Village in the Sotr Nikum district of Siem Reap, approximately 51km from the town center (which will be reduced to 44km once the new road opens). The journey from Siem Reap to the new airport takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic. We recommend picking up guests from their hotels 3 hours before their international flight departure time. Transfer costs to/from Siem Reap airport will be adjusted accordingly.

The State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has the great honor to inform all domestic and foreign air operators and the public as follows:

1). The new international airport, which is located in Kriel Pong Village of Por Pel Commune and Provall Village of Ta Yek Commune in Sotr Nikum District, Siem Reap Province, has been officially named "Siem Reap Angkor International Airport" by the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), and is scheduled to open for operations from 16 October 2023 onwards.

2). The Siem Reap Angkor International Airport has received the official code from the International Air Transport Association (IATA Code) as SAI and from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO Code) as VDSA.

3). All commercial flights of air passengers and cargo that are being operated at the current Siem Reap International Airport (REP) will be transferred entirely and one time only to Siem Reap Angkor International Airport from 00:00 AM (Cambodian Time) on 16th October 2023.

4). Separately, Siem Reap Angkor International Airport will organize and operate a number of non-commercial and non-profitable test flights as per necessary between the period of 5th to 15th October 2023.

5). For the preparation and planning of the transferring of all commercial flights of air passengers and cargo and of the opening of Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) would advise and request that all domestic and foreign air operators and other related stakeholders contact, from now onwards.
