[geovalin]

Around three-quarters the size of the UK and with a population of around 15.5 million, Cambodia is a country that has seen impressively consistent growth in recent years in its air travel market. Latest figures from Cambodia Airports (which runs the airports at Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville) shows that just under 6.5 million passengers passed through the two main airports in 2015. This represents growth of 12.2% over the previous year and continues a run of double-digit growth that extends back to 2010. The global recession of 2008-09 impacted growth primarily at Siem Reap which acts as the gateway to the country’s most famous tourist attraction, the temples of Angkor Wat. Since 2009, traffic at Siem Reap has grown by 163% while passenger numbers serving the country’s capital at Phnom Penh have increased by 94%.
