IndiGo direct flights to Cambodia approved

The State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has announced that IndiGo Airlines has been approved by the Indian government to start direct flights to Cambodia soon, coinciding with national flag carrier Cambodia Angkor Air’s preparations to launch flights to India. Sinn Chanserey Vutha, undersecretary of state and spokesperson for the SSCA, told The Post on March 13 that following encouragement from both sides, there has been a significant increase in bilateral tourism, trade and investment. He confirmed that both airlines have obtained government approval to operate direct flights between the two countries. “New routes between India and Cambodia have been established with the approval of the relevant Indian authorities, who have already approved the flights of both airlines. These include IndiGo Airlines and Cambodia Angkor Air,” he said. Chanserey Vutha noted that each airline must adhere to the specific conditions and requirements of their respective country. He said Cambodia Angkor Air is in the process of completing these formalities, and barring any changes, expects flights to commence between May and June this year.<br/>
