AirAsia Cambodia will provide low-cost air travel across the country as well as overseas, leveraging the group’s core strength to drive customer and operational excellence for sustained growth and profitability.
As a group, AirAsia serves a total of six routes into Cambodia from Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, carrying 1.3 million guests into the kingdom historically.
AirAsia Cambodia will be announcing its international destinations in the next quarter following a careful assessment of demand and market dynamics.
“We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Secretariat of State Civil Aviation (SSCA) of Cambodia for awarding the Air Operator’s Certificate to AirAsia,” said Tony Fernandes, CEO of Capital A.
“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 while contributing to its economic progress.”
Vissoth Nam, CEO of AirAsia Cambodia added: “AirAsia has a long history in Cambodia and we are proud to chart a new milestone not only for the airline industry in the region but for the country today.
“The enhanced air connectivity has also contributed to the steady growth of the ASEAN tourism industry at an annual average rate of almost 10 per cent in the last decade. As AirAsia Cambodia joins the fray, we are poised to further expand on this growth while unlocking new experiences and opportunities for millions of Cambodians at the best value and world’s best services.
