Cambodia’s National Assembly has endorsed the draft law on the ratification of the convention on the unification of rules relating to international air transport, called the Montreal Convention 1999.
The endorsement was granted during the 2nd plenary session of the National Assembly of the 7th Legislature, chaired by its President Samdech Moha Rathsapheathika Thipadei Khuon Sudary.
Cambodia has been a signatory to the Montreal Convention since 1999 but has yet to ratify it.
Countries in Asia that have ratified the convention include the Philippines (2015), Thailand (2017), Indonesia (2017), Vietnam (2018), Sri Lanka (2019), and Brunei (2020).
With the law officially promulgated, it will allow Cambodia to legally ratify the 1999 Montreal Convention, which will eventually pave the way to further building confidence for air travellers and international air transport enterprises operating in and with Cambodia.
Meanwhile, the international air transport associations are promoting the Montreal Convention to b
ecome a modern, equitable, and unique global convention to bring the quality of the aviation sector to a new height.
