AirAsia’s seventh airline, AirAsia Cambodia is to commence its operations on Thursday, 2 May 2024, following the handover of its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) on Wednesday. With an initial fleet of two Airbus A320s, the airline will operate from the bustling hub of Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH), connecting travellers to the iconic cities of Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, through hubs in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.
Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A said: “Today is a historic day for AirAsia as we open a new chapter in Cambodia whose story of perseverance, resilience, and growth deeply inspires us.
“AirAsia’s expansion into Cambodia underscores our profound grasp of the Asean market. Cambodia’s dynamic population of 17 million and its growing youth segment present a substantial consumer base and an opportunity to cater to domestic demand whilst contributing to its economic progress. As AirAsia Cambodia prepares for takeoff, we are excited to leverage these opportunities to a broader ecosystem across our Capital A lines of business.”
