Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Bad landing at Siem Reap airport this morning.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Angkor Sky flight ZA484 reportedly blew out four tyres on landing in Siem Reap airport early this morning. The plane was on a direct flight from Wuhan, China with 122 passengers aboard. The incident was due to a technical problem where the brakes did not release. No one was injured.

About 7 years ago i had a very interesting conversation with a technician who serviced planes and he told me that the reason i had flown on an old Thai airways jet to go to Bangkok was because that plane was leased by AirAsia since the aviation authorities would not allow AirAsia planes to fly into their airspace. The reason was because their maintenance schedules didnt meet their strict requirements.

Yep. And Thailand has been in trouble with IATA for years now with regulatory and safety practices. And most flights going to/from Thailand are run by Thai AirAsia which is under Thai aviation regulators. So it doesn't really sound legit.

Worse case scenario, maybe they don't want to leave Cambodia and we're stuck with them. :dragonchase:
