Phnom Penh:Construction of the VVIP passenger terminal at Techo International Airport is nearly complete, with an estimated 99 percent of the work finished. The terminal is set to be officially inaugurated in early November, in time for Cambodia to host the 20th Francophonie Summit.
According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, H.E. Mao Havannall, Minister in Charge of the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA), led a site inspection of the terminal on Friday. The delegation included senior officials, airport leaders, technical experts, and executives from Cambodia Airport Investment Co., Ltd.
