Cambodia Takes Flight: AirAsia Cambodia Launches Domestic Routes with Free Seats Promotion
Cambodia's skies welcome a new player today, as AirAsia Cambodia opens sales for flights connecting Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville. Starting operations on May 2, 2024, the airline promises to revamp domestic air travel in the Kingdom.
As AirAsia Cambodia gears up for its inaugural flight next month, it stands poised to revitalize Cambodian airways using two A320 aircraft based at Phnom Penh International Airport. This initiative underscores a commitment to affordable travel within the country, with a daily schedule that bolsters accessibility and convenience for passengers.
Today marks a significant milestone for AirAsia Cambodia and the Cambodian tourism industry, with the airline offering 6,000 free seats for travel between May 2024 and March 2025. This aggressive promotion, available through airasia.com and the AirAsia MOVE app, demonstrates the airline's determination to encourage exploration of Cambodia's rich cultural landscape.
Vissoth Nam, the CEO of AirAsia Cambodia, captures the essence of this moment as a transformative one, "We are thrilled to start painting the Cambodian sky red. Introducing affordable fares will not only improve connectivity but also encourage travelers to stay longer in the country." The airline's vision is to make air travel an integral part of Cambodia's transportation network, beginning with these three destinations.
AirAsia's global network provides Cambodian cities with over 130 connections across Asia and beyond, with hubs in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. The introduction of domestic flights is a strategic step to enhance Cambodia's position as a regional travel hub.
The impact of AirAsia Cambodia's launch extends beyond mere connectivity. It resonates with the Kingdom's economic aspirations and tourism development goals, signaling a shift in the aviation landscape. With promotional fares starting at USD 49 and a broad payment gateway facilitated by Oriental Bank, AirAsia Cambodia is not just opening the skies for travel; it's making the beauty of Cambodia accessible to all.
