Following the official launch last March, AirAsia Cambodia flew its inaugural domestic flight today, marking a major step in the expansion of AirAsia Group’s presence in Southeast Asia.
With the flight code of KT, the airline’s first domestic flight departed Phnom Penh International Airport at 7:40 am and arrived at Siem Reap Angkor International Airport at 8:30 am. All times are local.
AirAsia Cambodia has also initiated services connecting Siem Reap to Sihanoukville, establishing links between three domestic destinations within Cambodia. These initial routes demonstrate the airline’s dedication to enhance connectivity and offer affordable and convenient travel options for both Cambodian residents and visitors.
“The launch of our first domestic flights today marks the beginning of a new chapter in Cambodia's tourism industry, one where accessibility meets affordability. By providing great value and reliable air travel options, we are empowering Cambodians to explore their own backyard and fostering economic prosperity through increased tourism and business opportunities,” said Vissoth Nam, CEO of AirAsia Cambodia.
“The timing of AirAsia Cambodia's domestic flight launch is also opportune, coinciding with the government's concerted efforts to attract more tourists to the culturally rich province of Siem Reap through the recently launched ‘Visit Siem Reap 2024’ campaign,” he added.
“We are honoured to jointly celebrate the birth of our seventh AirAsia branded airline with our guests. Leveraging our strong foothold in ASEAN, AirAsia Cambodia is set to provide connectivity to over 130 destinations across Asia and beyond,” said Bo Lingam, Group CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group.
“With a track record of unlocking opportunities in underserved markets, we’re poised to catalyse a new era in Cambodia’s tourism industry and economy by making regional exploration more accessible to all.”
AirAsia operates 63 weekly flights to Cambodia internationally from its Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok hubs. Domestically, the airline now offers daily flights between Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville, further bolstering its presence in the region.
