History
editFounded in 1998 as Yana Airlines (Khmer: ក្រុមហ៊ុនអាកាសចរណ៍យ៉ាណា), the company was renamed to Mekong Airlines in 2002."Yana Airlines history from Cambodia, Rest of the World; Airline History". airlinehistory.co.uk. Mekong Airlines operated scheduled flights to several destinations in southeast Asia using a leased Boeing 737-500, which was put in service 15 January 2003 and returned on 16 October of that year, marking the end of the airline's business.[2] The airline was made up of mostly Australian management thanks to an agreement between Australian and Cambodian investors.
