AirAsia Cambodia proudly launched its inaugural flight from Siem Reap to Singapore today, marking a significant step forward in AirAsia Cambodia’s international expansion plans whilst strengthening AirAsia’s position as the only low cost carrier that flies between both nations.

This new route provides direct international connectivity between two popular destinations, offering greater travel convenience and opening opportunities for cultural and economic exchange between Singapore and Cambodia.

The maiden KT 320 flight departed from Siem Reap Angkor International Airport at 8:45 AM (local time) and touched down smoothly at Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 4 at 12:00 PM (local time). Upon arrival, passengers on the inaugural flight were warmly welcomed by Vissoth Nam, CEO of AirAsia Cambodia, Logan Velaitham, Country Head of AirAsia in Singapore, representatives from Changi Airport Group and SATS Ltd. along with AirAsia Allstars, who distributed exclusive merchandise to commemorate the occasion.

Vissoth Nam, CEO of AirAsia Cambodia said, “Today’s launch of our very first international route between Siem Reap and Singapore is a proud moment for AirAsia Cambodia, which was launched in May this year. As AirAsia Group celebrates its 20 years of excellence in Singapore, we remain focused on creating new opportunities for Singaporeans to explore what Siem Reap has to offer as well as our guests from around Asean and beyond, driven by our commitment to providing affordable connectivity for travellers of all backgrounds.

“By boosting tourism in both countries, this connection stimulates air travel, supports the local economies and deepens regional ties. Both Cambodia and Singapore are vibrant nations, rich in history and culture that captivate visitors from across the globe. Siem Reap, with its UNESCO heritage sites and breathtaking Angkor Wat, offers an unparalleled glimpse into Khmer heritage. We look forward to welcoming explorers from Singapore and beyond to discover the wonders of Cambodia, while also providing our guests from Cambodia with seamless access to Singapore’s world-class attractions.”

As AirAsia Cambodia also celebrated its first flight from Singapore to Siem Reap at noon today, guests aboard flight KT 321 were warmly sent off by AirAsia Allstars.

Siem Reap is Cambodia’s premier tourism hub, renowned for the stunning Angkor Archaeological Park, where iconic temples like Angkor Wat attracts travellers from around the world. Known for its fusion of ancient wonders and lively modern culture, Siem Reap offers more than temples; visitors can explore the floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake or dive into local flavours at the Angkor Night Market. This city is a captivating blend of rich history and bustling energy, making it a must-visit destination for any Southeast Asia itinerary.

This inaugural flight reflects AirAsia’s commitment to bridging communities and strengthening Asean connectivity while driving tourism growth across the region.
