Another Chinese airline starts flights to Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Another Chinese airline starts flights to Cambodia

https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/asean/1383294/


The Southeastern Chinese Shenzhen Airlines officially launched flights to Cambodia on Thursday, becoming the seventh Chinese airline to fly from China to Phnom Penh International Airport, according to Cambodian airports officials.

Shenzhen Airlines will operate three flights per week between Shenzhen and Phnom Penh.

The first aircraft on the route touched down at Phnom Penh airport about 2pm on Thursday and had 161 passengers on board, the Khmer Times reported.

According to the Cambodia airports, in 2017 traffic growth from China has been a prevailing trend at Cambodia’s three international airports as the one million Chinese passenger mark has been crossed.


There are 11 airline companies servicing China from Phnom Penh. Of these, seven Chinese airlines and four Cambodian carriers also operate routes to and from China.

Eric Delobel, the CEO of Cambodia Airports, said it has been a market that has gained prominence with developing inbound and outbound traffic. He said most of China’s major cities had established air links with Cambodian airports and that has been benefitting to passengers as they have a full array of travel options with more destinations, airlines and frequencies.
