Siem Reap International Airport (Khmer: អាកាសយានដ្ឋានអន្តរជាតិសៀមរាប; French: Aéroport international de Siem Reap) (IATA: REP, ICAO: VDSR) is an international airport serving Siem Reap, a popular tourist destination due to the nearby Angkor Wat temple complex. It is the second-busiest airport in Cambodia after Phnom Penh International Airport.[2]

New Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport

A new $880 million Siem Reap International Airport project is being built on a 750 hectares property located 51 kilometers South-East of downtown Siem Reap and 40 kilometers from Angkor Archaeological Park and will be built in three phases. It is scheduled to be finished in March 2023; and able to handle seven million passengers in the first phase of development.

The airport is at an elevation of 60 feet (18 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 05/23 with a concrete surface measuring 2,550 by 45 metres (8,366 ft × 148 ft).[3][4]

The airport's new terminal was inaugurated on 28 August 2006.[citation needed] The Cambodian government has plans to replace the airport with a new one, 60 km from Siem Reap.[5] As of 2008, extensions to the airport's apron and parking areas are taking place. Air Traffic Control is provided by CATS (Cambodia Air Traffic Services), with full approach and aerodrome VHF facilities being housed in the control tower, between the fire station and the domestic terminal.[6] Area control is provided from CATS Centre in Phnom Penh (Pochentong) VHF frequencies used at Siem Reap are:

  • Tower: 118.300 MHz (AM)
  • Approach: 124.300 MHz (AM)
  • ACC1 (FIR): 127.500 MHz Backup 134.100 MHz(AM)
  • ACC2 (FIR): 132.400 MHz Backup 135.150 (AM) implement 15/November/2019

The airport itself is located some 6 km outside Siem Reap, just off National Route 6 north. Runway alignments are 23 & 05, with only 23 being used for takeoff, due to flight restrictions over Angkor temple.
