Koh Kong resort airport approved

The Dara Sakor Seashore Resort in Koh Kong province will soon be accessible to the world after approval was granted for construction of an international airport in September.

Developed by Chinese company Tianjin Union Development Group (UDG), the USD3.8 billion tourism project stretches across a 45,000-hectare land concession with a 99-year lease in Koh Kong’s Botum Sakor and Kiri Sakor districts.

The company have refused to provide details of the timeline, investment or costs of the project. However the site for the airport has been selected and when complete could handle 10 million passengers annually and service planes of a size up to the Airbus 380.
