Cambodia Bayon Airlines, the Cambodian subsidiary of Joy Air, has self-imposed a one-month flight suspension as its marketing executive quit recently to join proposed new airline start-up Prince International Airlines and new pilots are being employed. According to Variflight, one of the last flights of Cambodia Bayon Airlines plying on the Sihanoukville-Siem Reap route took place on 20 September 2017.
Passengers affected by the flight suspension should immediately contact Cambodia Bayon Airlines Head Office or ticket offices at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports for immediate refunds as the airline did not announce the suspension publicly.
According to Facebook, Cambodia Bayon Airlines is resuming flights from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville on 28 October 2017. It has withheld plans to start Airbus A320 operations as suitable pilot candidacy has yet to be confirmed after a round of employment campaign in Taipei to employ ex-Transasia pilots.
Prince International Airlines is an airline start-up project of the Chinese investors behind Prince Real Estate, headed by the former executive of Cambodia Bayon Airlines. It plans to launch flights in early 2018 with Airbus A320 aircraft serving tourism charter markets in China, South Korea and Japan and 2 Gulfstream jets for local business VIP flights.
The executive of Prince International Airlines is also aiming to set up its sister airline Cambodia Airways. It aims to operate scheduled flights from Phnom Penh to Japan, South Korea, ASEAN cities and Europe using an eventual fleet of 10 A320s and 2 A330s.
Besides Prince International Airlines, Cambodia Airways and the earlier-reported Small Planet Airlines Co., Ltd and AirAsia Cambodia, two other proposed start-ups of Cambodia are Air Siem Reap and KC International Airlines.
Air Siem Reap is a proposed joint-venture airline between Bangkok Airways and Cambodian tycoon and ruling party Senator Ly Yong Phat. It aims to replicate the success of Siem Reap Airways International in Siem Reap before the defunct airline was banned to fly to Europe for safety reasons. Air Siem Reap's proposed destinations include Phnom Penh, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Vientiane, Pakse and Suvarnabhumi.
KC International Airlines is a 100 million dollar Chinese-Cambodian joint-venture with ties to Hun Sen's ruling party. Its Chinese director has 15 years of experience in aviation business. It plans to operate flights to underserved destinations from Phnom Penh, such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing and Urumqi.
