Bo Lingam, CEO of AirAsia Aviation Group said “Elevating travel connectivity within the Asean region has been the lynch pin of our model since we started operations with just two planes over 22 years ago. This new route direct to Singapore signifies the start of a broader Group strategy supporting the revival of the tourism industry and a new era for international services to and from Cambodia. 

“While we expect our direct services to Kuala Lumpur and now also to Singapore will continue to prove very popular, we are also very excited about the world of opportunities via our vast network. Our popular seamless Fly Thru services especially to China, Japan, Australia, India and beyond enable more people to fly to/from Cambodia at the very best value prices.”

Vissoth Nam, CEO of AirAsia Cambodia said, “We have strong expansion plans to fly further to and from our great Kingdom in the future, providing guests with even more value and choice. In the winter season, we have already announced Siem Reap to and from Phuket, and today marks another milestone that we are proud to announce, our new route between Siem Reap and Singapore.

“Since we launched services in early May 2024, we are witnessing strong demand and significant opportunities for growth in a number of key international markets. Singapore is the start of a number of new destinations we are keen to launch soon including the potential of a direct route linking Phnom Penh to Singapore.” 

“We are dedicated to supporting Cambodia's tourism and economic development goals, in line with Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia's vision of establishing more direct flights from major global tourist destinations to Cambodia. As a result, these new services will provide a welcome boost to our local economy and tourism sectors, including job creation in the all-important hospitality sectors.”

His Excellency Prak Sophoan, Governor of Siem Reap Provincial said “This is a significant announcement by AirAsia Cambodia as we work hard to revive our foreign tourism numbers since the pandemic. Cambodia offers a wealth of opportunities from cultural, historical and natural experiences and we look forward to working with AirAsia to connect more travellers from all over the world to our remarkable country, thanks to the vast AirAsia Group network.”
