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

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 provided from CATS Centre in Phnom Penh (Pochentong) VHF frequencies used at Siem Reap are:

  • Tower: 118.300 MHz (AM)
  • Approach: 124.300 MHz (AM)

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.
