(Phnom Penh): Sinn Chansereyvutha, Secretary of State and Spokesperson for the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation, said air travel between Cambodia and Thailand remains operational, though some flights have been cancelled because of reduced passenger demand.

Speaking to Fresh News on Tuesday (Jan. 6), he said flights on the Bangkok–Phnom Penh, Bangkok–Siem Reap, and Phuket–Siem Reap routes continue as normal. However, a number of flights have been cancelled due to lower-than-usual market demand.

According to the spokesperson, flights between Bangkok and Siem Reap normally total 63 flights per week. These include 35 flights on the Siem Reap–Suvarnabhumi route, 21 flights on the Siem Reap–Don Mueang route, and 7 flights on the Siem Reap–Phuket route each week.

Meanwhile, there are 77 flights per week operating between Bangkok and Phnom Penh. Of these, five Thai airlines operate 53 flights per week to Techo International Airport, while two Cambodian airlines operate a total of 24 flights per week.

The spokesperson added that the section of Cambodian airspace closed after the initial clashes in July remains closed until further notice. He also confirmed that drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are not permitted to operate at Cambodian airports.
