PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia has awarded a contract to a South Korean property developer to build a new international airport to serve the famous Angkor Wat temple complex, an official said Wednesday.
Chea Vuthy, a spokesman for the Cambodian Development Council, a government agency that oversees investment, said Lees A&A Co. will build the $1 billion airport in Siem Reap province.
He said the Cabinet approved the project in October.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency said construction would begin by the end of next year, with the first phase due to be completed in 2015. The airport will be 36 miles (60 kilometers) east of Angkor, Siem Reap provincial officials said.
