TONLE SAP AIRLINE MAKES MAIDEN CHARTER FLIGHT

Tonle Sap Airline has carried out its first chartered flight yesterday. The airline was granted a two-year licence to operate just last month and completed a flight from Siem Reap to Taiwan late last week. Tonle Sap has leased two 737 aircraft from the United Kingdom and is backed by Cambodian, Taiwanese, Singaporean and British investors, according to SSCA. The airline plans to operate regular flights to three destinations – Taiwan, South Korea and Vietnam. Flights to domestic tourist locations such as Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh will follow.
