Cambodia's breathtaking rivers, lakes, and coastal regions make it an ideal destination for amphibious seaplane transportation, offering guests an opportunity to experience awe-inspiring aerial views while seamlessly connecting various destinations across the country. Samra Seaplane will transform transportation in Cambodia, providing unmatched convenience, luxury, and connectivity.
Combining the experience, resources, and expertise of The Royal Group and Seaplane Asia, Royal Group Samra Seaplane is poised to revolutionise travel and enhance accessibility in Cambodia. The Royal Group Cambodia brings its deep understanding of the local market, a strong network, and a successful track record of transformative ventures. Seaplane Asia offers its expertise in seaplane services across the region, technical and operational know-how, and access to a fleet of amphibious Cessna Grand Caravans.
"We are proud to join forces with Seaplane Asia and introduce Royal Group Samra Seaplane, the first premium seaplane service in Cambodia," stated Neak Oknha Kith Meng, Chairman of The Royal Group.

Together, we will write a new chapter in the Cambodian aviation and transportation sectors and unlock unparalleled travel and lifestyle opportunities."
While tourism is at the heart of the business model, Samra Seaplane aims to also address critical needs across various sectors. The seaplane service will enhance accessibility to remote regions, islands, and tourist destinations, unlocking economic potential and driving infrastructure development, trade, and local business growth. Additionally, the seaplane service may play a contributing role in emergency medical services, facilitating swift and efficient medical evacuations to enhance healthcare infrastructure.
Furthermore, the aircrafts’ accessibility and versatility may enable it to support monitoring activities such as environmental conservation, natural resource management, and wildlife protection. It can also serve as a valuable asset in search and rescue operations, providing swift response and effective coverage during emergencies and disaster situations.
