Siem Reap International Airport (IATA: REP, ICAO: VDSR) (Template:Lang-km Template:Lang-fr) serves Siem Reap, a popular tourist destination due to nearby Angkor Wat. It is the second busiest airport in Cambodia after Phnom Penh International Airport.[2]

New Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport

A new $880 million Siem Reap International Airport project is being built on a 750 ha property located 51km South-East of downtown Siem Reap and 40km from Angkor Archaeological Park and will be built in three phases. It is to be finished in March 2023; and able to handle seven million passengers in the first phase of development.

Facilities

The airport is at an elevation of 60 feet (18 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 05/23 with a concrete surface measuring 2,550 by 45 metres (8,366 ft × 148 ft).[3][4]

The airport's new terminal was inaugurated on 28 August 2006.[citation needed] The Cambodian government has plans to replace the airport with a new one, 60 km from Siem Reap.[5] As of 2008, extensions to the airport's apron and parking areas are taking place. Air Traffic Control is provided by CATS (Cambodia Air Traffic Services), with full approach and aerodrome VHF facilities being housed in the control tower, between the fire station and the domestic terminal.[6] Area control is still provided from CATS Centre in Phnom Penh (Pochentong) VHF frequencies used at Siem Reap are:

  • Tower: 118.000 MHz (AM)
  • Approach: 124.300 MHz (AM)
  • ACC (FIR): 127.500 MHz (AM)
  • Ground (apron): 121.750 MHz (AM)
  • ATIS (WX): 129.950 MHz (AM)
  • Tower – fire 3A: 143.750 MHz (FM)

CATS are also responsible for clearing takeoffs and landings of tourist helicopters from the "Big Balloon" site, 3 km away, near Angkor Wat. Both Helicopters Cambodia and Sokha Helicopters operate from the airport, with Sokha mainly operating from the Big Yellow Balloon site. The airport itself is located some 6 km outside Siem Reap, just off National Route 6 north. Runway alignments are 23 & 05, with only 23 being used for takeoff, due to flight restrictions over Angkor temple.

Airfield

  • Runway: 2,550 m (8,370 ft) long x 45 m (148 ft) width (with shoulders 2.5m wide each).
  • Perpendicular taxiway: length: 240 m (790 ft) width: 20 m (66 ft) and 10 metres of shoulders. Under construction: 1 (length: 600 metres, width: 25 metres and 15 metres of shoulders).
  • Number of stands: 10

Ground transportation

There are few options to transfer to or from Siem Reap International Airport and the city. Outside the arrival hall, passengers can take a taxi provided by the Airport Taxi Association, which costs US$10 (fixed rate) as of September 2019.[16] A cheaper alternative would be to book a car or tuktuk ride from Grab. The trip to downtown costs on average $6 on the app. Passengers also have the option to rent a car or tuktuk for the whole day from the app for touring the city and Angkor Wat for $25.

Accidents and Incidents

On August 2002, a Bangkok Airways ATR 72-200 skidded off the runway. The airport was closed for two days.
