State Secretariat of Civil Aviation Cambodia

The State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) is the government authority responsible for the oversight and regulation of the civil aviation sector in Cambodia. Operating under the direct supervision of the Council of Ministers, it manages air traffic control, aviation safety, security standards, and the licensing of personnel and equipment. The organisation acts as the primary intermediary between the Cambodian state and international aviation bodies, ensuring the domestic industry aligns with global standards. Its remit covers the operation of the kingdom's international airports in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville. The SSCA works in coordination with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the ASEAN Air Transport Working Group to integrate regional air corridors. Key stakeholders include national flag carrier Cambodia Angkor Air and various regional commercial operators providing services across Southeast Asia. Prospective partners or service providers should verify the current status of Cambodia’s ICAO safety audit results and the specific regulatory requirements for foreign-registered aircraft. It is necessary to confirm the exact departmental jurisdiction for technical certifications, as the organisation maintains distinct divisions for flight safety, aerodromes, and air navigation services. Compliance with the Civil Aviation Law and relevant sub-decrees is mandatory for all domestic operations.
