Cambodian-owned aviation firm helps stranded tourists

A Cambodian-owned aviation company is at the forefront of efforts to help stranded visitors in the Philippines return safely to their home countries. Thousands of foreign visitors from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, India, Australia, Germany, United Kingdom, France and other countries have been stranded in the Philippines because of lockdowns imposed by the government there to combat the spread of Coronavirus.

While the bulk of the repatriation flights has been shouldered by major airlines like Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Emirates, private charter companies were also tapped for the same purpose.
