PhnomPenh (VNA) - To encourage Japaneseinvestors, the Cambodian Chamber of Commerce (CCC) and the Japanese Business Association of Cambodia (JBAC) are planning to request the All Nippon Airways (ANA) - Japan’s largest airline - toresume direct flights to Cambodia ahead of a scheduled September return,according to the Phnom Penh Post.

The idea was proposed by President of CCCKith Meng and newly appointed president of JBAC Yogo Kanda.

According to CCC Vice President Lim Heng,the two sides are planning to send an official letter to ANA to request for itsresumption of direct flights to Cambodia as soon as possible because the delayhas hampered the return of Japanese investors to the Southeast Asian nation.

This will benefit the tourism, culture and business sectors of both sides, hesaid.

ANA has operated direct flights between the two countries since 2016 butthe firm closed its Phnom Penh office on April 1 with a plan to resumeoperation in September.

Flights to Cambodia have dropped 98 percent because of the COVID-19 pandemic,according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Cambodia./.
