Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have come to a fore, and the Thai government has urged its nationals to return to the country, THAI Airways has confirmed that it will not stop Cambodia services.

Border skirmishes which are believed to have killed and wounded soldiers on both sides have heightened the strain between the two countries, but despite this, THAI will continue to operate its Bangkok and Phnom Penh services.

“THAI’s office in Phnom Penh is open for business and all flights to and from Phnom Penh continue to provide normal services and operations to passengers,” said Apinan Sumanaseni, THAI President, in a statement.

“THAI stands ready to support the government’s request for air transportation on this routing if needed.”

TG696/7 and TG698/9 dailies will operate uninterrupted.

Border skirmishes have taken place between the two countries for decades now as the two countries both lay claim to the Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO recognised World Heritage site.
