news from Bangkok Post, July 06 2006.
July 6th, 2006
On July 01 2006 - we have posted the news about Siem Reap International Airport as follows:
“Siem Reap International Airport has moved into a new stage of its continued development program with a new international terminal and additional runway. These 2 new facilities has been completed and officially inaugurated on June 27 2006 by His Excellency Samdech Hun Sen, Prime Minister of Cambodia. The floor space of the new terminal is 12,000 sqm and there are 18 check-in counters and 6 boarding gates which will significantly enhance the comfort level for all passengers.”
Despite that the official inauguration was scheduled for June 27 2006 but His Excellency Samdech Hun Sen, the Prime Minister has cancelled it last minute without notice and there was no official reason given. As a result, the opening of the new terminal has been delayed for 10 days but at the end, the new terminal has been completed and is now in operation as of July 05 2006. All international arrivals and departures are now being handled at the new terminal as of July 05 2006 onwards.
We very much regret any misunderstanding or inconvenience caused to all travelers entering and departure during those dates.
