Governor: 600ha of Land for Mondulkiri Airport Ready, Waiting for Investment

The Mondulkiri provincial administration has already finalized the impact assessment and demarcated the land border for the Mondulkiri airport project, and is currently awaiting news on the investment from the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA).

During a press conference held on 16 July, Mondulkiri Provincial Governor H.E Svay Sam Eang said that the provincial administration has already identified a 600-hectare plot for the planned airport project, located in Oreang district about 22 kilometers from Senmonorom city.

“We [administration] have already prepared the land. So, whenever the government has an investment budget, the land is ready. This can avoid the problem of having no land. No land means no airport,” said H.E Svay Sam Eang.

“We have marked the boundary and already solved any possible surrounding land disputes. So from now on, it depends on the SSCA. We just have to wait for the government to look for investment partners or capital,” he added.

The governor also added that the new airport could be a large domestic or international airport, depending on the study of SSCA and relevant ministries.

The Mondulkiri airport project has been studied since 2019. Initially, it was planned to be built on 300 hectares of land, but now it has been expanded to 600 hectares. (Read more)

This is one of the three planned airport projects, with the other two located in Poipet city in Banteay Meanchey province, and in Battambang province.
