Aviation officials are pondering about a new flight path from Siem Reap province to Sihanoukville in order to avoid the accident-prone mountainous areas. However, such flight path change could mean that the airfare cost may increase. Him Sarun, cabinet chief of the State Secretariat for Civil Aviaition, told The Cambodia Daily that it is hoped that the new flight path would be safer (than the current one), but it requires a detour around the less safe mountainous areas. The new flight path will take an hour and a half to travel as compared to 45 minutes for the current one. He added that the new path will also affect the cost of airfare ticket.
