The construction of the new Siem Reap Angkor International Airport is approximately 42% completed although some works have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Spokesman of the Secretariat of Civil Aviation of Cambodia HE Sin Chansereyvutha told Construction & Property Magazine on 12 May that the three main parts of the construction are on schedule.

“Although some technical works have been disrupted, the progress of the construction is still proceeding as scheduled, because the firm has added more labour to work both day and night shifts,” said HE Chansereyvutha.

According to the Angkor International Airport Investment (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. (AIAI), the construction progress is set for 67% completion by the end of 2021. (Read more)

The airport is being built on a 700-hectare plot with a 1,000-hectare special economic zone with an investment of over US$900 million. (Read more)
