In an influential move endorsing domestic resources, Novation Academy, Cambodia’s premier flight training school, has joined forces with Royal Group Samra Seaplane, an emerging amphibious seaplane operation. The symbiotic partnership is in line with their shared vision of leveraging local resources to advance Cambodia’s aviation sector.

Highlighting this shared endeavor, Capt. Lionel Vincent Mougel, COO of Samra Seaplane, stated, “Unyielding in our quest for locally available resources, Samra Seaplane places utmost importance on exploring domestic training solutions, provided they fully meet regulatory and operational requirements and standards. As such, we are happy to see Novation Academy’s efforts in this regard.”

Enhancing aviation training by bringing practical exposure
This collaboration, substantiated by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), is aimed at enhancing aviation training by bringing practical exposure and real-world experiences to future pilots of Cambodia. It also promises to foster innovation, job prospects, and foster growth in the broader aviation landscape.

A senior official from the Ministry of Tourism has announced that Royal Group Samra Seaplane Cambodia will begin operations in the Kingdom later this year, although the company has yet to determine which province would first be offered the service.

Chuob Ratana, director of the ministry’s Tourism Development Planning department, met with the firm’s representatives on July 27 to discuss cooperation in enhancing the seaplane service.

He said it would offer transport services to several primary tourist destinations on Cambodia’s coastal islands and to certain northeastern destinations.

“During high season, the company plans to launch a tentative seaplane service, although the business is currently conducting legal due diligence, as the Kingdom’s laws are yet to specifically cover this kind of aircraft,” he explained.

He noted that the seaplanes are capable of carrying eight passengers comfortably.

“For example, if visitors wanted to travel from Siem Reap province to Sang Saa Island, this aircraft could carry them there directly. These planes can land on water lust like a boat,” he said, referring to a top-notch private island in Preah Sihanouk province.
