Velana International Airport (MLE) has successfully handled its first-ever Sea-to-Air transshipment cargo originating from Cambodia, marking an expansion of the airport’s Sea-to-Air connectivity into Southeast Asia.

The milestone was achieved in collaboration with Qatar Airways and coordinated by CEF Logistics, according to an announcement by Velana International Airport.

The successful handling of the shipment expands MLE’s Sea-to-Air transshipment network into Southeast Asia and further strengthens the airport’s role in facilitating cargo connections between Asian and European markets.

Sea-to-Air transshipment involves cargo being transported by sea before being transferred to air freight for onward transportation. The model provides an alternative logistics route for cargo moving between different regions.

Velana International Airport said the latest milestone reinforces MLE’s growing role in connecting Asia and Europe through its expanding transshipment operations.

The development follows the airport’s recent growth in Sea-to-Air cargo operations, as MLE continues to strengthen its position as a regional cargo transshipment hub.
