And also PSD_Kiwi, do you know if the new Siem Reap airport, SAI, charges airlines significantly more for landing and other fees than other Cambodian airports?
I guess the ordinary laws of supply and demand are the prime reason most flights into SAI are so expensive compared to, say, PNH or BKK, but I was just thinking about how pre covid it was at least *occasionally* true that international tickets to Siem Reap were cheaper than into PNH or BKK, whereas now search sites like Kayak often enough show a $1,000 premium!
I understand SAI operators desire to make their huge investment back, but IF(?) at the moment they are trying to charge airlines higher fees to do so, I don't at all see that working in their favour.
