AirAsia Cambodia (flight code KT) is gearing up for its launch in May, with inaugural flights to three domestic destinations of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville.

Scheduled to commence operations on 2 May 2024, the airline will operate daily flights to these three destinations with two A320 aircraft stationed at Phnom Penh International Airport.

“This will not only improve connectivity but also encourage travellers to stay longer in the country,” said Vissoth Nam, CEO of AirAsia Cambodia. “Our vision is to transform the way people travel in Cambodia and make air travel an integral part of the country's transportation network by offering great value fares, exceptional service, and strong connectivity starting with these three destinations.”

AirAsia Cambodia, a joint venture between AirAsia parent Capital A Bhd and Cambodian hospitality firm Sivilai Asia, is reportedly looking to commence international flights as soon as 3Q this year.

Flights to all three destinations in Cambodia are now available for booking, and the new airline is now offering 6,000 free promotional seats between 2 May and 29 March as part of its opening offer.
