Commercial operations have begum at Cambodia’s newest and biggest airport, designed to serve as an upgraded gateway to the country’s major tourist attraction, the centuries-old Angkor Wat temple complex in the northwestern province of Siem Reap.
The airport, which was built at a cost of about $1.1 billion on 700 hectares of land about 40 kilometers east of Angkor Wat, boasts a 3,600-meter long runway. Construction began in 2020 to replace the old airport, about 5 kilometers from the temple site, which is being retired in part because of fear that vibrations from frequent flights were damaging the temples’ foundations.
