Closure of air space to most airlines, especially regional carriers, reduced frequency, shuttered borders and travel curbs has impacted Cambodia’s air traffic greatly, almost crippling the industry and the airports. Norinda Khek, Communication & PR Director of Cambodia Airports told Khmer Times that the number of passengers for May plunged 98 percent in all three international airports managed by the company, compared to the same month last year.

 

“In May 2019, the three airports recorded 900,067 passengers but for this May, we registered just 18,135. The regular airlines that still operate are more or less the same ones that have maintained flights since the Covid-19 outbreak. “They include some Chinese carriers with links from/to Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Kunming and Guangzhou. However, the flight frequencies have been significantly reduced.
