Construction of Mondulkiri Airport Expected to Begin in 2022

The construction of the Mondulkiri airport project is expected to begin in 2022 after Prime Minister Hun Sen last week set up a special inter-ministerial committee to accelerate the implementation of this large-scale project.

According to State Secretary of Civil Aviation (SSCA) spokesman Sin Chansereyvutha, the feasibility study will be completed within February and will be soon submitted for the government’s approval.

“We have already selected the China Power International Group as a developer, and the firm will develop the project under the Build-Operation-Transfer (BOT),” said HE Sin Chansereyvutha. (Read more)

“Thus, our task now is studying the detail before signing the agreement, which will take about a year,” he added.

To accelerate this process, Prime Ministry Samdech Hun Sen established an inter-ministerial committee on 10 February to overlook the whole process of this project.

Located in Sen Monorom commune, Oreang district, the Mondulkiri airport project was originally to be built on 300 hectares of land but has now been expanded to 600 hectares.

Besides the airport project, the government is also mulling, transforming Mondulkiri province into an international tourism destination. The 2020-2035 master plan is expected to be approved by the government this year. (Read more)
