PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - The government has struck an initial deal

with Emirates Airlines for flights between the United Arab Emirates and

Cambodia, an official said Saturday.

 

If a final agreement is reached, the Emirates Airlines will become the

first Middle Eastern airline company to fly the route.

 

Officials from Cambodia's civil aviation authority and the Dubai-based

airline signed a memorandum of understanding on the service Friday,

said Sek Savorn, a government spokesman.

 

No date has yet been set for the first flight.

 

Deputy Prime Minister Sok An said the airline could operate up to seven

flights per week, using Boeing-777 jets.

 

"Because Dubai is the central point for air passage between Europe and

Asia, I hope the new flight service will bring more tourists to

Cambodia," Sok An said in a speech Friday.

 

There are currently about a dozen foreign-owned airlines flying to and

from Cambodia daily. Most of the arrivals are tourists who come to

visit the famed Angkor temples in Siem Reap province, 230 kilometers

(143 miles) northwest of Phnom Penh.

 

Cambodia does not have its own flag carrier but has adopted an open sky

policy for attracting foreign tourist dollars needed for developing its

economy.
