Siem Reap airport sees 3M visitors
Siem Reap airport sees 3M visitors
Siem Reap International Airport received 3 million domestic and international passengers this year, a 13 per cent year-on-year increase which was hailed as historic by airport authorities.
Emmanual Menanteau, CEO of Cambodia Airports, said in a statement that the 3 million mark represented a symbolic high point, as the airport had only received 2 million passengers in 2012.
“[Siem Reap International Airport] has now started a new chapter in its history by passing the 3 million mark,” he said.
“The next coming challenge is to complete the extension of the terminal so that the airport can accommodate over 5 million passengers a year.”
To manage the steady increase of passengers, Cambodia Airports launched a construction campaign in January this year to double the airport’s capacity by early 2016.
Khek Norinda, communication and marketing director of Cambodia Airport, said yesterday that the larger number of passenger arrivals reflected increasing global awareness of the UNESCO World Heritage site Angkor Wat.
“Compared to the growth rate of passenger arrivals at airports in other countries, the growth rate that we received is significant,” he said.
Norinda added that good growth at airports elsewhere would be considered 2 to 3 per cent.
According to figures from the Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia received a total of 3.6 million foreign tourists in the first 10 months of 2014.
From that number, 1.81 million arrived by air, of which Siem Reap International Airport alone received 30 per cent.
Ho Vandy, co-chair of the Government-Private Sector Working Group, said that increased air arrivals was a good sign for the Cambodian tourism sector, as it indicates further room for development at other tourism destinations in the Kingdom.
“It shows that there are good opportunities for air transportation in our country and I would want to see air connections to Cambodia’s eastern parts like Ratanakkiri or Mondulkiri in the near future,” he said.

暹粒机场2014年‧接待300万乘客
暹粒机场2014年‧接待300万乘客
暹粒机场出境大厅。
暹粒国际机场2014年，接待乘客人数突破300万人纪录，有望在扩建的机场完成后，接待乘客人数预料可达到500万人。
隨著越南航空的VN813班机於週二傍晚5时30分，从邻国越南胡志明市载著一群乘客抵达暹粒国际机场，这让2014年度通过暹粒国际机场入境的乘客人数达到300万人，而这也意味著被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗產的歷史古城，在2015年即迈入一项新的里程碑。
根据数字显示，与前年相较，2014年从外国飞抵暹粒国际机场的乘客人次，已增加13%。
柬埔寨机场总裁蒙南迪奥表示，两年前的今天，暹粒国际机场共迎来200万人次的旅客，而今年则突破这个数字，达到300万人，在接著下来的一年，机场管理公司將面对一项全新的挑战。
“一旦暹粒机场扩建工程完成后，我相信机场每年可接待500万名乘客。”
为了应付乘客日益增加的需求，柬埔寨机场於2014年1月宣佈，提昇暹粒国际机场的设备，即为该机场展开扩建工程，预料此工程將在2016年年初完工，届时新扩建机场乘客容量將增加一倍。

金边3公巴路线‧往大金欧最受欢迎
金边3公巴路线‧往大金欧最受欢迎
金边市府发言人隆迪蒙表示，市府公巴服务已慢慢步上轨道，特別是金边通往大金欧的公巴路线最受欢迎。
他透露，从金边市到大金欧市的第二条公交车路线，运营一年来共载客29.2万人次，每天平均有800人乘车，收入4.38亿柬幣（约10万9500美元）。
“从莫尼旺大道至大金欧市路线，是最受欢迎的路线。”
他说，虽然目前乘客人数不断增加，但公巴收费依然维持在每人1500柬幣，市府暂时未有计划提高车资。
根据市府最近公布的首都交通发展大蓝图，到了2016年，公巴路线將增至5条、2020年到10条、2025年推出电车（Tram Car）服务；到2035年，金边市民將主要利用公共交通出行。
