Passenger traffic rate forecast to slow down

[geovalin]

Passenger throughput at the three international Cambodian airports in 2020 is forecast to continue to grow but at a slower pace, according to Cambodia Airports, based on figures from the last quarter of 2019. The prediction was made after double-digit growth occurred in consecutive previous years.

 

According to Cambodia Airports, passenger traffic grew 10.2 percent year-on-year in 2019 to 11.6 million passengers. Khek Norinda, communications and public relations director at Cambodia Airports, said declining  growth at Siem Reap international airport was one of the main factors that would slow the pace of increase.

 

“It is an assumption based on the last three months of 2019 when passenger growth slipped 3.1 percent, a decrease that reflected softer global air demand, a steady decline in arrivals at Siem Reap and a deceleration of traffic after a burst of activity at Sihanoukville,” Khek said yesterday. He added fewer arrivals from China cut the rising trend of passenger numbers at Sihanoukville.
