Dara Sakor International Airport in Koh Kong will open for testing later this year.

The building of the Dara Sakor International Airport in Koh Kong is expected to be completed in the coming month, with a test run scheduled for the end of the year.

With a $350 million investment, the Chinese business Tianjin Union Development Group (UDG) is building the Dara Sakor International Airport. Long-haul aircraft such as the Boeing 777 and the Airbus A340 are said to be able to land at the airport. The airport is located in Botum Sakor District and is stretched out over a 4.5-hectare area of land. The project is part of Dara Sakor Resort's multibillion-dollar Chinese growth strategy.

On September 21, the Minister of the Civil Aviation Secretariat, Mao Havannal, revealed this during a visit by representatives of the Dara Sakor International Airport Construction Company.

Representatives from the development company mentioned during the meeting that preparations are being made for the airport's construction to be completed in October. They also indicated that preparations are being made for the airport's operating testing to begin on December 30.
