AKP Phnom Penh, June 04, 2025 --

Emirates has launched a new flight route between Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Siem Reap province, Cambodia, aiming to boost both tourism and trade between the two countries.

The inaugural flight landed at Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport on the evening of June 3, where it received a ceremonial water salute and a warm welcome from H.E. Mao Havannall, Minister in Charge of the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation.

The airline will operate three weekly flights—on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—from Dubai to Siem Reap, with a stopover in Bangkok, Thailand.

According to Emirates, the new service is conveniently timed to offer seamless connections for leisure travellers from multiple destinations, including France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and Russia.

Emirates already operates daily return flights between Dubai and Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, via Singapore.

Cambodia’s three international airports currently offer flights to 34 cities across 12 countries, serviced by 31 national and international airlines.

In addition to Emirates, several new international routes to Cambodia have been announced this year, including Turkish Airlines’ service from Istanbul to Phnom Penh and Etihad Airways’ route from Abu Dhabi to Phnom Penh.
