Siem Reap International Airport (Template:Comma separated entries) was an international airport that served Siem Reap and Angkor. It opened in 1932 and closed in 2023 upon the opening of Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport. It was the second-busiest airport in Cambodia after Phnom Penh International Airport.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
Siem Reap Airport opened in 1932 under French supervision.[6] A modern terminal was inaugurated in 2006.
Due to increased traffic and pollution damage caused to Angkor Wat, in 2010, plans for replacing the airport with a larger airport further from the temple complex were announced.[7][4][5][8] After delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2023, the Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport was opened and the Siem Reap International Airport was closed.[9]
Facilities
The airport was at an elevation of Template:Convert above mean sea level. It had one runway, designated 05/23, with a concrete surface measuring Template:Convert.[10][11] On 28 August 2006, a new terminal opened.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Air traffic control was provided by CATS (Cambodia Air Traffic Services), with full approach and aerodrome VHF facilities housed in the control tower between the fire station and the domestic terminal.[12] CATS were also responsible for clearing takeoffs and landings of tourist helicopters from the “Big Balloon” site, Template:Convert away, near Angkor Wat. Helicopters Cambodia and Sokha Helicopters operated from the airport, with Sokha mainly operating from the Big Yellow Balloon site.
The airport was Template:Convert outside Siem Reap, just off National Route 6 north. Runway alignments were 23 and 05, with only 23 being used for takeoff, due to flight restrictions over Angkor temple.
