BRUNEI and Cambodia are in talks of establishing direct air links to further boost both nation’s tourism sector and strengthen bilateral cooperation. Establishing a direct fl ight to Cambodia will give Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA), Brunei’s national air carrier, a big market advantage to lure its neighbouring Malaysian tourists to fly from the Sultanate, said the outgoing Ambassador of Cambodia to Brunei, Nan Sy, in an interview yesterday.
He said that tourists residing in the Malaysian neighbouring states of Kuching, Miri and Labuan would have to fly to Kuala Lumpur to visit Cambodia as direct fl ights from these destinations were not available. “When we have direct fl ights from here, Brunei will have a big market,” he said. “If we do have direct fl ights, they (the
neighbouring tourists) don’t have to fl y to KL, they just have to come by car here and fl y from Brunei to Phnom Penh, (Cambodia’s capital) for approximately 1hr and 45mins.”
