AirAsia’s Cambodian unit says it would launch daily domestic flight operations on May 2, as the low-cost airline aimed to boost air travel in the Southeast Asian country.
It said in a news reported on Monday that the airline will start with three domestic flight destinations: Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, utilizing two A320 aircraft based at Phnom Penh International Airport.
AirAsia Cambodia Chief Executive Officer Vissoth Nam said this would not only improve connectivity but also encourage travelers to stay longer in Cambodia.
“Our vision is to transform the way people travel in Cambodia and make air travel an integral part of the country’s transportation network,’’ he said.
