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.
