SRP MP Son Chhay sent a letter at the beginning of July to Sok An, the vice prime minister, asking for a clarification on the government decision to allow the PMT airline to continue its air transportation of passengers (following a PMT plane crash at the end of June 2007).

According to The Phnom Penh Post published this week, the Cambodian authority is only preparing to send the black box of the crashed plane to Russia for an analysis on the cause of the crash.

An Antonov 24 airplane operated by PMT crashed in Kampot province on 25 June, and caused the death of 22 people on board, including more than 10 South Koreans.

The Seoul government indicated that it will send aviation safety experts to look into this black box.
