AirAsia Cambodia launched its first-ever flight from Siem Reap to Singapore today, marking a key milestone in the airline’s international expansion and reinforcing AirAsia’s unique role as the sole low-cost carrier offering direct flights between Cambodia and Singapore.

This direct route brings seamless connectivity between two popular travel destinations, enhancing convenience for travelers and fostering opportunities for cultural and economic exchange between the two nations.

Flight KT 320, the maiden voyage, departed from Siem Reap Angkor International Airport at 8:45 AM local time and arrived at Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 4 at 12:00 PM. Passengers on board received a warm welcome from AirAsia Cambodia CEO Vissoth Nam, AirAsia Singapore Country Head Logan Velaitham, and representatives from Changi Airport Group and SATS Ltd., who distributed exclusive keepsakes 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.”

At noon, AirAsia Cambodia also launched its first return flight from Singapore to Siem Reap, with passengers of flight KT 321 receiving a friendly send-off from AirAsia’s dedicated team.

Siem Reap, Cambodia’s top tourist destination, draws global travelers to the remarkable Angkor Archaeological Park, home to the famed Angkor Wat and other historic temples. Beyond ancient ruins, Siem Reap boasts attractions like the floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake and vibrant culinary experiences at the Angkor Night Market, offering a unique blend of history and lively modern culture—a highlight of any Southeast Asia journey.

This inaugural flight showcases AirAsia’s dedication to connecting communities, bolstering ASEAN’s connectivity, and contributing to regional tourism growth.
