Ongoing growth strengthened by new routes and increased flight frequency

Body:

Last month ended on a high note here at Cambodia Airports, capping off a successful first third of the year. Throughout 2019 we have continued to see ongoing and dynamic traffic growth, which has in many ways been bolstered by the addition of new routes and expansion of destination portfolios on offer by our airline partners.

In keeping with our goal to create a more interconnected region, we are thrilled to promote the recent launch of routes to major Asean hubs, including the recently inaugurated flights between Phnom Penh International Airport and the Philippines’ capital city of Manila. As we welcome an influx of travelers from the Chinese mainland, our airline partners - including several local carriers - have recognised this growing demand and increased flight offerings to meet it.

We will continue to foster this dynamism through the coming months, and we look forward to the journey.

Eric Delobel,
CEO of Cambodia Airports
