Location
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (IATA: SAI, ICAO: VDSA) is a newly constructed international airport serving Siem Reap, Cambodia, the city closest to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat. It was developed to replace the older Siem Reap International Airport (REP), which closed in November 2023 following the new airport's inauguration. The airport is located approximately 51 kilometres from Siem Reap city centre, significantly farther than its predecessor. It was built and is operated under a concession by Angkor International Airport Investment (Cambodia) Co., Ltd., a consortium involving Chinese investment. The facility was designed to handle a substantially higher passenger capacity than the former airport. The opening of SAI represented a major infrastructure investment for Cambodia's tourism sector, as Siem Reap is one of the country's primary international destinations. The airport features modern terminal facilities and expanded runway capacity intended to accommodate growing regional and international air traffic.
