The dispute that grounded a Tonlesap Airlines plane on Tuesday and stranded more than 200 passengers in Siem Reap and Taipei, Taiwain, continued yesterday, as plane owner Far Eastern Transport upped the sum it claimed Tonlesap owed for fuel. Far Eastern grounded a plane it had leased to Cambodian-owned Tonlesap at Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport, saying the company owed as much as US$105,000 in fuel fees. The cancellation left 139 passengers at Taoyuan without a flight to Siem Reap, and more than 100 at the airport in Siem Reap waiting for a return trip to Taiwan.
