About Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport

Overview

Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway to Cambodia's historic Angkor region. Located at 13.369167°N, 104.223056°E, the airport provides critical international and domestic air connectivity for the Siem Reap province, which hosts UNESCO World Heritage sites. As a large airport with significant infrastructure, it supports substantial passenger and cargo operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at an elevation of 191 feet above mean sea level, which provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots can expect typical tropical southeast Asian weather patterns, characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons that can impact visibility and surface conditions. The single concrete runway (05/23) measuring 11,827 feet offers substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic positioning near the Tonle Sap region introduces potential microclimatic variations that pilots should monitor carefully. Surrounding terrain is predominantly flat, which generally provides straightforward approach and departure profiles. The substantial runway length accommodates wide-body aircraft and provides significant margins for safe operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23's orientation suggests potential wind variations that could influence approach and landing strategies. Pilots should anticipate standard tropical airport considerations such as potential thermal activity and potential afternoon convective developments. The concrete runway surface provides consistent braking characteristics across varying meteorological conditions.
