On Wednesday, MPs voted to approve the Civil Aviation draft law, following a 3-day debate on this issue. Section 10 of this law stipulates a sentence on in-flight plane or on the ground hijackers to a lifetime jail sentence. Article 58 stipulates that anyone who build or operate airports in Cambodia without the authorization or receive the approval from the Civil Aviation department, is subjected to 5 to 10-year of prison sentence and a fine of 10 to 20 million riels (~$2,500 to $5,000). Article 61 stipulates that flight captains who trespass into prohibited zones, or into flight forbidden zones, and who did not cause accidental deaths or material damages, will be sentenced between 1 to 3-year of jail time, along with a fine of 10 million riels (~$2,500), should there be accidental deaths or material damages, the jail sentence will be between 10 to 20-year.
