Thailand drops quotas on flights to Cambodia
Thailand has dropped its seat quota on commercial flights to Cambodia after its government approved the removal of the restrictions in accordance with an aviation agreement between the two countries signed in May. The approval comes months after Cambodia did the same, liberalising air travel between the two countries. “We’ve both agreed to remove the quotas on flights and our airlines can fly without limits,” Vann Chanty, director of Air Transport at the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation, said on September 7. Previously, the two countries had limited air traffic and tourism growth by imposing quotas on both the total number of flights and seats on commercial passenger flights between the two countries.
