Mondulkiri airport project still on track
Wed, 31 March 2021
An $80 million domestic airport project in Mondulkiri province is shaping up to be a main driver for ecotourism development in the Kingdom’s northeast corridor.
Minister in charge of the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) Mao Havannall on March 30 led a meeting with representatives of the developer, PowerChina International Group Ltd (PIG), to provide input on a recently-completed feasibility study report for the development of the airport and nearby industrial park.
Havannall called on PIG to keep the Ministry of Tourism’s vision of regional tourism and economic development in mind and to find new ways of enticing airlines to request landing rights at the project, suggesting new tourism products, new economic activities and investments.
Last week, KAJ Development Sdn Bhd the private company looking to develop the multi-billion ringgit Melaka Gateway coastal reclamation project failed to get the court to review the state government’s decision to cancel the development.
KAJ was denied leave, as it was ruled that there was no public law element in the state’s decision. As such, its judicial review application was dismissed. KAJ is understood to have filed an appeal.
The dispute arose after the state government late last year terminated its three-year concession for land reclamation of islands that would form the foundation of the project. The development is hinged on the construction of a mega port, a cruise terminal, and a free trade economic zone, among others.
