Cambodia's ambitious new coastal international gateway.

Location

Koh Kong Province, Cambodia

Dara Sakor International Airport is a newly constructed airport located in Koh Kong Province, southwestern Cambodia, near the Gulf of Thailand. It is situated within the Dara Sakor development zone, a large-scale project funded primarily by Chinese investment through Union Development Group (UDG), which holds a 99-year concession over the surrounding area. The airport has been constructed as part of a broader resort and infrastructure development but has faced significant scrutiny from the United States and other governments over concerns about potential dual-use military applications and its proximity to strategic maritime routes. As of the mid-2020s, the airport has undergone construction and testing phases but had not yet commenced full scheduled commercial operations. The facility features a runway capable of accommodating wide-body aircraft, positioning it to serve international tourism traffic if and when full commercial services commence. Its operational status and timeline for regular airline services remained uncertain.
