The BSP is a system designed to facilitate and simplify the selling, reporting and remitting procedures of IATA Accredited Passenger Sales Agents, as well as improve financial control and cash flow for BSP airlines. There are BSP operations in some 180 countries and territories worldwide, with the system currently serving around 400 participating airlines with an on-time settlement rate of 100%. In 2016, IATA's BSP processed a total of $219 billion. The benefits of a BSP include simplification of electronic ticketing and sales reports, savings through having less resources required for billing and payment collection, enhanced control, and having the overall process monitored by a neutral body. 10月9日，天空吴哥航空公司宣布，他们已正式加入国际航空运输协会在柬埔寨的开账与结算计划（简称 BSP）。此后，该公司还将申请中国开账与结算计划。 BSP是一个旨在促进和简化，国际航协认可的客运销售代理商销售、报告和汇款程序的系统，以提高成员航空公司的财务控制权和现金流。目前，该系统业务覆盖了全球180个国家和地区，成员航空公司约400家，准时结算率为100%。2016年，国际航协开账与结算计划共处理了2190亿美元。 BSP简化了电子客票和销售报告，并通过减少计费和收款所需资源节省了运营成本，增强了管理，并拥有中立机构进行全程监控。 6 Arun in-flight magazine November 2017 - March 2018 CONTENTS 6 Airline News 12 Calendar of Events 16 Community-based Tours 22 Cambodian Jewellery 28 Fine Khmer Dining 34 Welcome to Cambodia 40 Welcome to Phnom Penh 42 Destination Siem Reap 8 Arun in-flight magazine November 2017 - March 2018 Cover image: Ta Prohm Temple The iconic tree roots surround a doorway at Ta Prohm temple.

There is, however, much more to explore in Siem Reap – and indeed Cambodia – than these ancient wonders. Arun in-flight magazine November 2017 - March 2018 17 An estimated 80% of the Cambodian population live in rural areas, so getting out of town and into the countryside can be an incredible way to connect with local communities, while deepening your understanding of the Kingdom and its people. While heading off to the horizon by yourself might be a little daunting, there are thankfully a number of excellent organisations offering community-based tours in and around Siem Reap. One of these is Buffalo Trails (not to be confused with the Buffalo Tours), specialising in countryside experiences in the founders’ home village, located approximately 40 minutes south of Siem Reap by car. For visitors on a tight schedule, the two half-day tour options could be ideal. Spend a morning riding along rice paddy-lined roads in a buffalo cart, stopping to learn about seasonal produce and centuries-old farming techniques along the way, as well as trying your hand at traditional palm leaf weaving. Alternatively, take a gentle 4km wander through the village, meandering along lotus ponds and through pagodas and local markets as you learn about life away from main roads, and internet connections. In addition, Buffalo Trails offers full-day and multi-day experience, some of which incorporate the Angkor Temples, as well as homestay opportunities in rural villages. All tours are private, so prices depend on the number of people in your group, but half-day
