International airports charge to be included in air tickets in view of facilitating travel arrangements.

From April 1st 2011, the Passenger Service Charge (PSC), a charge collected from passengers departing at the airports, will be incorporated in international air tickets.

The PSC rates will remain at the current levels with no increases but the following adjustments are to be noted:

* Only 2 rates will apply US $25 for adults and US $13 for children (under 12 years old). Free of charge for infants (under 2 years old).
* Cambodian nationals will be entitled to refunds amounting to US $7 (adults) and US $3 (children) as, in line with the existing differential rates configuration, they are charged US $18 and US $10 respectively.
* The PSC incorporation is effective for passengers who had purchased their tickets on/after January 21, 2011 (when the PSC scheme was uploaded into the worldwide reservation system) for travels on/after April 1st 2011.
* Passengers who travel after April 1st 2011, but bought their tickets prior to January 21st 2011, will still pay the PSC at the airportsтАЩ counters. Likewise for passengers travelling before April 1st 2011 and having purchased their tickets before or after January 21st 2011.
* For those who bought the tickets on/after January 21st 2011 for travelling plan on/after April 1st 2011, but have made changes to travel before April 1st, they will be entitled to refunds based on existing rates and are to contact their travel agency or airline.

The incorporation of the PSC in international air tickets aims at easing and speeding up travelling process at the international airports.
