New Airport opens in Poipet Cambodia

President Airlines recently launched the inaugural charter flight between the new Poipet International Airport and Siem Reap in Cambodia.

While the main airport terminal is still under construction, passenger check-in processing is being conducted at the Holiday Palace Bistro building in Poipet. The Bistro building will serve as the Poipet Airport Passenger Terminal until construction is complete, which is expected by year end.

Currently only President Airlines operates at the new airport with the airline concentrating on routes between Poipet - Sieam Reap - Rattanakiri, Sihanouville, and Phnom Phenh.
