The feasibility study to construct a new airport in Mondul Seima district of Koh Kong province, being undertaken by LYP Group and Bangkok Airways, has been paused due to COVID-19 pandemic.

State Secretariat of Civil Aviation’s spokesman Sin Chansereyvutha said the government granted the investment project to the firm. However, the study has been paused due to COVID-19. As of today, nothing has been built.

HE Sin added that the process would restart after the pandemic is over.

This is a joint project between local conglomerate Ly Yong Phat Group with Bangkok Airways under a planned investment capital of US$40 million. (Read more)

According to the initial study, the airport will be constructed on over 600 hectares of land in Mondul Seima district, which is a relocation from an old 400-hectares site in Khemerak Phoumin city.

This project is entirely different from another US$350-million Koh Kong Airport in Dara Sakor district, which is being constructed and invested by China’s Union Development Group. (Read more)
