AirAsia expands presence with debut of AirAsia Cambodia
KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Aviation Group Limited (AAAGL) has announced the launch of its fifth airline, AirAsia Cambodia, scheduled to take off on May 2, 2024.

The carrier said the launch of the new airline comes amidst a pivotal moment for the aviation industry as it continues to rebound from the worst aviation crisis in history.

The new airline will be operating out of Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH), with an initial fleet of two Airbus A320s.

Fares are now on sale on three domestic routes from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville, with plans to grow the network in the future.

AAAGL group chief executive officer Bo Lingam said the launch of AirAsia Cambodia further cements its mission to truly own Asean for affordable travel, where its brand and footprint is strongest.

Historically, Bo said AirAsia have a total of six routes into Cambodia across the group, carrying 1.3 million passengers into the kingdom.

“We remain focused on building the most incredible network in our core markets that can’t be surpassed with the best connectivity and flight frequencies. Everything great starts with two planes, and just like our predecessors, we aim to grow AirAsia Cambodia to a fleet of 60 planes in the next five years.

“With the pending merger of all of the AirAsia airlines in the group as a single listed company, including medium haul affiliate airline AirAsia X , we will have seven airlines leveraging off one another to over 130 destinations and growing. This will truly transform the future of short and longer-haul air travel across Asean and beyond.”
