Cambodia is to have a new national flag carrier in September, 8 years after the former national flag carrier, Royal Air Cambodge, had gone bankrupt in 2001, reports Deum Ampil.
Mr. Thong Khong, Minister of Tourism, told Deum Ampil on Tuesday the 2nd of June that
Cambodia has just unveiled a new national airline which will commence its flights in September. The new national airline will be called
Cambodia Angkor and will begin its first flights on 1st September from
Siem Reap to
Sihanoukville and from
Siem Reap to other foreign cities such as
Bangkok.
However, Mr. told Thong Khon has not told Deum Ampil of which company was behind the rebirth of this new national airline, but in
November 2007 an Indonesian company had signed a contract with the government to form a new national airline with the Cambodian government as the majority shareholder.
The Minister hopes this new airline will help attract more tourists to
Cambodia because
Cambodia does not need to depend on foreign airlines to bring tourists to the country.
It's 8 years since the last time
Cambodia has a national airline when the former national flag carrier, Royal Air Cambodge, was declared bankrupt in 2001 after aircraft maintenance crews caused a large oil spills from the plane due to take the then King Sihanouk to
Beijing.
