Cambodia has closed its airspace over regions bordering Thailand following intense military clashes, citing a major threat to commercial aviation from heavy weapons. The country’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has instructed airlines to reroute flights away from the danger zone, especially between Siem Reap and Pailin, where Thai military operations have intensified. While international flights are not canceled, rerouted paths now avoid potentially volatile skies. SSCA spokesperson Sin Jansriwuttha highlighted risks posed by Thailand’s military escalation, warning that further restrictions could be enforced if conflict intensifies.
The airspace ban impacts key flight corridors from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, including routes from Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Cambodian authorities emphasize this is a preemptive safety measure based on lessons from global conflict zones, assuring that air travel remains operational—just more cautious. The situation remains fluid with potential for more stringent aviation controls.
