SCA Secures Operator Rights at Techo Airport, Expanding Presence Across Cambodia

SOCIETE CONSERVER DERAORORPORT (SCA) has extended its operational reach in Cambodia by acquiring operator rights at Techo International Airport, alongside its existing operations at Phnom Penh National Airport. This significant development was reported by the National Television of Cambodia, highlighting SCA’s growing influence in the country’s aviation sector.

The Secretariat of State for Civil Aviation has formalised this expansion through a memorandum of understanding, aimed at restoring the balance of the concession agreement between the Cambodian government and SCA. Under this agreement, SCA will work in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, with plans for Phnom Penh National Airport to transition its operations to Techo International Airport upon its anticipated opening in 2025.

Currently overseeing operations at three international airports in Cambodia – Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville – SCA’s acquisition of operator rights at Techo International Airport further enhances its capabilities. This strategic move not only facilitates the smooth transition of airport operations but also strengthens the company’s capacity to advance the development of Sihanoukville International Airport into a Class 4E facility. Moreover, the agreement underscores SCA’s commitment to fostering value creation for all stakeholders by defining clear contractual terms and economic parameters.

By aligning interests and responsibilities, SCA aims to optimse operational efficiency and elevate the overall airport experience for passengers and partners alike.

Scheduled to complete its first phase of construction by October 2024, Techo International Airport, situated in Takhmao city, Kandal province, and Takeo province, is poised for an official launch in mid-2025. This milestone marks a significant step forward in Cambodia’s aviation landscape, with SCA playing a pivotal role in shaping its trajectory. (Read more)
