PHNOM PENH – Cambodia has recorded a total of 3.42 million international air passengers in the first half of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 16 percent, said an official report on Saturday.

Released by the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA), the report said that during the January-June period this year, most air travelers to the kingdom were from China, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan.

SSCA's Secretary of State and spokesperson Sinn Chanserey Vutha said the kingdom is forecast to handle about 7.5 million air passengers in the entirety of 2025, an expected increase of 20 percent from 6.24 million in 2024.
