Airport Development Overview

The airfield was originally constructed in the 1960s with assistance from the Soviet Union.[5] After a long period of dormancy during and after the Khmer Rouge era, the airport formally reopened on January 15, 2007.[6] The airport's runway had been extended to 2,500 metres (8,202 ft), which will allow it to accommodate jet airplanes such as the Boeing 737. However, since the crash of PMTair Flight U4 241 shortly before landing in June 2007, there was no scheduled service to the airport until 2011. Cambodia Angkor Air started a tri-weekly service from Angkor International Airport in Siem Reap on December 14, 2011.

In winter time schedule start from September 2013, The national air carrier Cambodia Angkor Air provide Siem Reap-Sihanoukville twice time daily flight during high peak season.
