[geovalin]

Sihanoukville International Airport’s renovated passenger terminal was presented to the public during a soft launch held yesterday.

The terminal’s renovation is part of an ambitious plan by Cambodia Airports, the company that manages all international airports in the Kingdom, to revamp the airport to prepare for a projected hike in passenger traffic as Sihanoukville enters the radar of more and more tourists in the region.

 

According to a statement from Cambodia Airport released yesterday, the airport’s renovation programme includes an expansion of the airport by as much as 80 percent of its current size, a “total revamp” of facilities, (particularly the check-in area, boarding lounge and baggage claim zone), and the installation of new equipment, including a baggage handling system.

 

Nicolas Notebaert, pesident of Vinci Airports, Cambodia Airports’ mother company, said the terminal’s soft launch is testament to the company’s and the Cambodian government’s commitment to improving air transport in the country. “Today’s ceremony marking the commissioning of Sihanouk International Airport’s new terminal reflects the successful partnership between the Government of Cambodia and Vinci Airports.
