Cambodian Prime Minister vows to negotiate national airline deal

Phnom Penh - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen gave Deputy Prime Minister Sok An a public rap over the knuckles over delays in setting up a new Cambodian national airline carrier, vowing to negotiate the deal himself to expedite the process. Cambodia has been without a national carrier since Royal Air Cambodge went bankrupt in 2001. Negotiations with private airlines to set up a joint deal managed under government auspices have dragged on since 2002, Hun Sen said.

"This has been too long without any result. Let Hun Sen do it. I will negotiate myself and establish a national airline," he told a conference on investment and trade in the capital.

Hun Sen likened the process to "a woman who had been pregnant for a long time but had not delivered a child" and said he was taking the responsibility from Sok An, who is also head of the Council of Ministers.

He said the current deal being hammered out would see the Cambodian government maintain a 30 per cent stake of the airline and maintain control over operations, with a private company or companies acting as executors and providing the planes.

"Aircraft under this company must use the Cambodian flag," he said, adding under his guidance, a national carrier would be established "soon" and that two private companies had currently lodged tenders, but gave no further details.

Yeah , but the travel to Cambodia must be cheap enough.
When I went to see my orphans cousins who have no job, I spent much money to travel and to give them some money.
So don't make the travel more expensive.

Fix up the run way first you one-eyed PM. What have you been doing for almost 30 years, big planes like the 747 can't even land in Cambodia's airport, and also prepare it for the A380 too if you want to compete in this business in the region. You should be ashame, look at Singapore smaller than Cambodia 10, 20 times, 747, A380 you name it they all can land in their airports. Don't blame on war or the khmer rouge…….you moron just an airport you can't manage to build how can you govern.

Well, the 747 can't land in the all of US airport either.

And in the last 30 years, we wasted so much time cracking down on Ah Khmer-Yuons criminals who victimized innocent Khmer people.

Anymore question?
