Direct Flights from Shandong, China to Siem Reap, Cambodia
China’s Shandong Airlines is planning to launch direct flights between Shandong province and Cambodia on Monday, the latest venture to capitalize on growing tourist numbers as China seeks to “secure a positive influence” in the region.
The flights, which are pending approval from State Secretariat for Civil Aviation (SSCA), will link the provincial capital of Jinan to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap City with twice-weekly service starting September 15, SSCA spokesman Sin Chansereyvutha said Monday.
If successful, the airline will be the ninth Chinese carrier to operate flights to Cambodia, following Xiamen Airlines in June.
According to the Ministry of Tourism, 240,657 Chinese nationals visited Cambodia during the first five months of the year, a 18.9 percent increase compared to the same period in 2013.
“The relationship between China and Cambodia is close, and the increase in flights is part of this cooperation between the countries,” Mr. Chansereyvutha said.
Also poised to enter the market this year are two Chinese-backed Cambodian charter operators, Bassaka Air and Cambodia Bayon Airlines, which are scheduled to begin offering flights to China this month and in December, respectively, according to the Sydney-based Center for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA).
“Chinese investors have recognized there is a huge opportunity to start an airline in Cambodia and cater to the inbound Chinese market,” a report released by CAPA in July says.
“Cambodian authorities are taking the right approach in actively promoting Cambodia in the Chinese market and being receptive to Chinese-backed Cambodian charter start-up carriers,” it says.

Re: Direct Flights from Shandong, China to Siem Reap, Cambod
New flights to Siem Reap yes, scheduled flight to Sihanoukville no! Vietnam Air has to pay for their new airport on Phu Quoc Island so its just overflights of Snooky on the way to Phu Quoc. I wonder how long the Vietnam run powers that be can block scheduled airlines from flying into Snooky? AirAsia walked away after the jacked up "fees." Cambodia Air can't get the paperwork signed. Why would Tiger or Jetstar even try when they know they will be blocked.
There are charter flights to Snooky from Korea, but nothing so far from China. (maybe the paperwork hasn't been done yet? $$$$$)

Seriously - we were there a month ago - if you're not in at sunrise and leaving before 10am, don't go.Sir_Quality_U_Feel wrote:More obnoxious,Chinese shit fish to ruin Angkor Wat. Yaaayy
I don't care if you're Mother flippin' Theresa, you will almost certainly lose your cool with the Chinese tourists. Same for the other temples, by 11am you literally physically cannot move in the flood of bodies (now waving those bloody selfie sticks into your and everybody else's personal space) and bad manners. And this is the tourism dead season.
Yes, I used 'literally' in the correct context.

They are some of the worst travellers I've met. I loathe them in general.
