Cambodia's Angkor Airways is to launch a direct flight between the central Chinese city of Wuhan and Siem Reap, home of Cambodia's famous Angkor temples from Feb. 12.
Lin Hua, of the Tianhe Airport in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, said the airline would operate a regular service every six days between Feb. 12 and March 10, before raising the number to two flights per week.
The flight would take three hours and 40 minutes one way, Lin said.
The flight would depart Siem Reap at 9:40 a.m. local time and land in Wuhan at 2:20 p.m. local time, and the return flight would depart at 3:20 p.m., Lin said.
"The new international flight will boost the tourism cooperation between Cambodia and central China's regions," Lin said.
Angkor Airways also planned to open a direct service between Wuhan and Phnom Penh before the traditional Chinese Spring Festival which falls on Feb. 18, said Zheng Min, a senior executive of the company's China office.
Last year, the company launched a direct flight between Phnom Penh and the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu, and between Siem Reap and the southwestern city of Kunming, she said.
"Ever since, Chinese tourists to Angkor have been increasing," she said.

Congratulation to Angkor Airways
for their new line between Siem
Ream and China. I hope they will
do well and create more jobs for
Khmer people.
Good luck to all.
Do chinese people have money to go on vacation or they come to stay in cambodia for good ?
Chine chase khmer, khmer chse gosh!
Even if only 5% of their population have money, that's more people than Vietnam, Cambodia, Thai, and Laos combine. Duh. When you talk about China, you talk about billion + people.
You go, Mate!!!
Actually, only college graduated
citizens have money, not a lot
but enough to have saving for
vacation. The income per capita
of China is about 1,500 USD/yr,
but for educated people is
6,00USD/yr; people with this
income do not own car, but own
PC, Digital Camera, have a nice
shared appartment, ..., and does
travel abroad.
And to answer Post12:37 question,
"No", normal citizen don't even
want to move from one province
to the next; therefore, you never
going to get them to move out of
the country. What you are talking
about are bussiness oriented
people where some just seek to
expand they bussiesses,...,
but giving the status of Cambodia
today, none will take the risk
to start their only bussiness
in Cambodia.
Correction:
the average income for educated
people in China is about
6,000USD/yr, not 600USD/yr.
And the reason for the big gap
is simply high demand for educated
people, remember "supply vs.
demand" theory.
Who cares about the Damm China?
They don't make $6000 or else they will bring 7 mistresses with them to Cambodia. Those pork poeple.
Those pork people probably were praying 7 times a days to get their stupid government off their backs and you know they probably cann't wait to do those thing freely...get it? No wonder they are so hurry to Cambodia. The sooner the better.
We do care for all of our eternal
neighbors. What we don't care about
are Ethiopian fleas like you.
CPP ARE NICE TO EVERY BODYELSE, BUT THEIR OWN PEOPEL. ONLY THEY LIVE OUT SIDE OF THE COUNTRY. THEY UGLY AND NASTY KHMERS.
UGLY! AND NASTY CPP!
Well, at least the CPP did not
burned Cambodia down to the ground
like your backstabers (SISOWATT
Sarimatakis) people did, alright?
