(Photo by Karnjana Karnjanatawe)Cambodia’s Secretariat of Civil Aviation has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Finland Civil Aviation Authority to open their skies and allow direct flights between the two countries. Baoming, however, did not reveal which Chinese airlines will operate the new Haikou City - Phnom Penh - Siem Reap route. On Tuesday, a new international route connected Phnom Penh and Siem Reap with China’s populous southern province of Hainan. Cambodia has signed a memorandum of understanding with Finland to allow direct flights to boost tourism in the future. Sin Sereyvutha, spokesman for Civil Aviation Secretarial General, told the Khmer Times that the MoU would pave the way for airline companies in both Cambodia and Finland to fly directly between Phnom Penh and Helsinki.
