Cambodia's national airline launches direct flight to Thailand's Bangkok

PHNOM PENH, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's national flag carrier Air Cambodia has launched a new route connecting the capital Phnom Penh with Thailand's Bangkok, said an airline's press release on Tuesday.

"On Feb. 17, 2025, Air Cambodia inaugurated a new flight between Phnom Penh and Bangkok, carrying a total of more than 300 passengers for the first round-trip," the press release said.

"Passengers were warmly welcomed with souvenirs and commemorative photos on the first flight," it added.

The airline has used Airbus 320 or 321 aircraft to operate daily flights between the two destinations, the press release said.

"Onboard services will include complimentary snacks and a luggage allowance of up to 32 kg," it said. "Moreover, we offer a business class service at a very reasonable price."

Zhan David, vice chairman and chief executive officer of Air Cambodia, said that Air Cambodia is the only Cambodian airline to have obtained a three-star rating from the global aviation ranking agency, Skytrax.

"Air Cambodia has played an increasingly important role in promoting people-to-people exchanges and economic and trade cooperation between Cambodia, China, ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and other countries," he said.
