one can see five flags (left to right): 1. Vinci, 2. SCA (Société Concessionnaire d'Aéroport), 3.
Cambodian flag, 4. UFE
#1, and 5. UFE #2.
Vinci "is a French concessions and construction
company founded in 1899 as Société Générale d'Enterprises"".

and Vinci. Its flag is the
company logo on a
white horizontal flag.
Regarding the SCA, "on July 6, 1995, the Royal
Government of Cambodia signed a concession agreement with the French-Malaysian
joint venture company Société Concessionnaire d'Aéroport (SCA), also
refered to as Cambodia
Airports, to operate Phnom Penh (PNH - Pochentong International Airport).
SCA is 70 percent owned by French Groupe GTM and 30 percent by Muhibbah
Masterron of Malaysia. Source: The
Pochentong International Airport (on Wikipedia}. Its flag is
its logo on a white horizontal flag.
Can anybody help identify the
other two UFE's in this picture?

Groupe GTM is owned by Vinci, I think. The "M" in the last flag sure looks
like that of Muhibbah Masteron (one "r").

Correct, Vinci Construction acquired Groupe GTM in 2001. I believe
Muhibbah Masteron is a Malaysian and/or Cambodian Holding Company. The SCA (Société
Concessionnaire de l'Aéroport) administers and runs the airport, but is pretty
well is controlled by Vinci and Masteron. According to the
Phnom Penh
International Aiport Blog "SCA is 70% controlled by Vinci Group (Vinci) from
France and 30% by a local holding company, Muhibbah Masteron (Cambodia) Company
Limited (MMC). [The] Muhibbah Masteron (Cambodia) Company Limited (MMC) is 70%
owned by Muhibbah Engineering Berhad (MEB) and 30% owned by two local Cambodian
businessmen, Mr Okhna Kong Triv and Mr Okhna Hann Khieng. Contacts for Muhibbah
Masteron (Cambodia) Company Limited are very unclear, it could be a shell
company."
Anyway I believe all these flags are corporate flags of the various
companies controlling and operating the airport. Unfortunately, I can't make out
all the flags clearly enough to be sure, but from left to right I'd agree that
it would go Vinci, SCI, Cambodia, unknown, and MMC.

Muhibbah's current (official) name is Muhibbah
Engineering (M) Bhd, and it is a Malaysian company.
