A Japanese official belonging to the International airport industry asked the Cambodian government to support flights by Angkor Airways between Japan and Cambodia. The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that Hajime Miyamoto, chairman of the Kansai-Osaka International airport, told Thong Khon, the minister of Tourism about this issue during a meeting held in Phnom Penh on 22 January 2008. Hajime Miyamoto told Thong Khon that, currently, the Angkor Airways has flights scheduled between Osaka, Japan, and Cambodia, and in the future, it wants to schedule flights between Nakuta and Fukuoka, Japan, and Cambodia also, and in particular, flights to Siem Reap. Therefore, Hajime Miyamoto wants Cambodia to support the flights scheduled by this airline. He also told Thong Khon that there could be 3 weekly flights and this number will increase to daily flights using new airplanes.

You have my vote. Yes, I totally supported direct flight from Japan to Cambodia, even a direct flight from Tokyo. I also would like Cambodia to expand the airports in both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap so in order to handle long-haul flights from all over the world. I believe, currrently, both airports in Cambodia are too small or too short to handle big jets; so why not extend the run-way to accommodate this. It is do-able. Japan and France can help. Thank you.
You have my Vote too,I believe my government will support flighys by Angkor Airway between japan and cambodia.
I believe this will give tourist more choices in the future.
Cute indeed.
