Aerodrome certification
This certificate is mandatory to operate an airport. It is delivered by the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation following standards and recommendations from the International Civil Aviation Authority and local regulations.
To be certified as an airport operator, Cambodia Airports has to demonstrate its compliance to all the international standards specifically aimed at providing the best safety services and procedures. To do so, a Safety Management System is in place and Cambodia Airports is audited regularly by Civil Aviation inspectors.
ISO 9001
Initiated in 2003 and applied at the time to only 2 departments, the ISO 9001 certification is all about Quality. To be certified under this international standard, Cambodia Airports has to comply with a series of requirements including a Quality Management System.
The two airports managed by Cambodia Airports and all the departments are now included in the standard. To maintain its certificate, Cambodia Airports is reviewed every year by GCC who acts as an independent auditor. To view Cambodia Airports’ policy, click here.
