Siem Reap’s Old Airport Set to Transform into Entertainment Hub by AIAI

Siem Reap Angkor International Airport Investment Company (AIAI) has unveiled plans to revitalise the former Siem Reap International Airport into a vibrant entertainment hub within the province.

HE Sin Chanserevutha, spokesperson for the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation, announced on 5 March that AIAI has secured the rights to oversee the development of the old Siem Reap International Airport, following approval from Cambodian government.

“In the preliminary stages of consultation, the company has proposed transforming the area into an entertainment destination aimed at drawing tourists,” Chanserevutha revealed.

The company intends to conduct further feasibility studies and engage in consultations with pertinent stakeholders and authorities, ensuring compliance with the regulatory framework of the Apsara zone.

Siem Reap International Airport ceased operations in October 2023 upon the inauguration of the new Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, situated approximately 40 kilometres from Siem Reap city.
