Following Cambodia’s recent announcement welcoming fully vaccinated visitors from any country without quarantine requirements upon arrival, AirAsia Malaysia will be resuming flights between Kuala Lumpur and Phnom Penh, beginning Jan 26, 2022.
To kickstart the resumption of travel to Phnom Penh, AirAsia will operate a weekly flight schedule of two return flights from Kuala Lumpur every Wednesday and Sunday.
More routes will be added and frequencies increased as travel demand grows in tandem with the reopening of more leisure destinations in the near future, subject to approval from the authorities.
Fully vaccinated travellers from Malaysia who wish to travel to Cambodia must meet the requirements set by the Cambodian Government prior to purchasing their flights and upon arrival.
Riad Asmat, CEO of AirAsia Malaysia said: “After Thailand and Singapore, we are excited to announce Cambodia as the third country for international quarantine-free travel that we are resuming operations to. We are fully ready to welcome the resumption of flights to Phnom Penh which has been a very popular leisure destination for AirAsia in the past.
“From an operational standpoint, we have prepared extensively to ensure all of our guests can travel safely, seamlessly, and with peace of mind. AirAsia guests are assured of the stringent health and safety protocols enforced on all of our flights with our highly trained and fully vaccinated crew continuing to deliver the world’s best service during the pandemic.”
HE Thong Khon, Minister of Tourism, Cambodia, said, “On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism of the Kingdom of Cambodia, I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to AirAsia for reconnecting and encouraging people to come to Cambodia.
“All international tourists and travellers are required to have a negative COVID-19 PCR Test taken within 72 hours of travel and proof of being fully vaccinated that is legitimate and acknowledged from the original respective country.
“Upon arrival, all international tourists and travellers will need to conduct the COVID-19 diagnostic Rapid Test (free of charge) and if the result is negative, they are free to travel anywhere in Cambodia.
“We are looking forward to welcoming all fully vaccinated international tourists and travellers to the Kingdom of Wonder – Feel the Warmth – Safe and Clean.”
