PHNOM PENH, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Experts from the European Community (EC)
will meet in February with the Cambodian civil aviation officials over the EC
ban of the Siem Reap Airways' flights to its market, an official said here on
Thursday.
EC banned all flights of the Siem Reap Airways to its countries, because it
was gravely concerned with safety standard, Rafael Dochao Moreno, Charge
d'Affaires of EC's diplomatic mission to Cambodia, told a roundtable discussion
on economic and political cooperation between Cambodia and EC.
It also involved the company's technique, training and other confidential
report, he said.
After EU put it on blacklist, the Cambodian government also banned its
domestic flights, he said.
"We hope the matter will be solved soon," he added.
Earlier this month, EC added the Siem Reap Airways, a local subsidiary of
the Thailand-based Bangkok Airways, to its blacklisted airlines, citing its
failure to comply with international and Cambodian civil aviation
standards.
