New airline launches in Cambodia
JC International Airlines officially launched in Cambodia on March 18, bringing the number of local airlines to five. JC International Airlines CEO Dongyan Huang said the airline was registered as a local company with an investment capital of $50 million. She said the airline has two Airbus 320 aircraft with daily flights between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, and Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. Ms. Huang said JC International Airlines would first open and serve the domestic market, but would soon expand routes to include ASEAN member states and China – Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong – as well as South Korea, Japan and Europe. “We love Cambodia since we found that Cambodia has good political and economic stability while they are improving remarkably in the aviation sector,” she said.
