CAMBODIA - 35 years later, an Air France flight to Phnom Penh arises

At 14:30 on Monday 27 March, an Airbus A340-300 Air France landed on the tarmac of the airport Pochentong the Cambodian capital. It is the first European airline to operate scheduled flights - three times a week - to Cambodia since the capture of Phnom Penh by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 and this flight could open the door to other intercontinental from Russia, Turkey or the United Kingdom, wrote the Phnom Penh Post.

Remains that calling at Bangkok, this time for theft shows the limits of the ambitions of the Phnom Penh airport in the world of aviation.
