Emirates to Launch Daily Flights Between Bangkok and Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Emirates has confirmed plans to launch daily flights between Bangkok (BKK) and Phnom Penh (PNH), Cambodia on 1 June 2019.

The service from Dubai to Phnom Penh, via Bangkok, will provide passengers travelling between the capital cities of Cambodia and Thailand with more flight options and seamless access to Emirates’ global network of over 150 destinations in 86 countries and territories.

Emirates will operate the new service with Boeing 777 aircraft scheduled to depart daily from Dubai International Airport (DXB) at 08:45, as EK370, and arrive in Bangkok at 18:15. The same flight (EK370) will then depart Bangkok at 20:00, before arriving at Phnom Penh International Airport at 21:25.

On the return segment, flight EK371 is timed to depart Phnom Penh at 23:20 and arrive in Bangkok at 00:40, the following day. It will then set off to Dubai‎ at 02:25 arriving at 05:35.

“We are pleased to enhance our services to these popular Southeast Asian destinations and offer more choices for travellers in Cambodia and Thailand. Passengers will not only be linked directly through our daily service, but will also have access to a host of domestic and regional routes from the two countries via Emirates’ codeshare partners Bangkok Airways, Jetstar Pacific and Jetstar Asia,” said Adnan Kazim, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning, Revenue Optimisation & Aeropolitical Affairs.

Home to a population of 1.5 million, Phnom Penh International Airport welcomed more than 1.4 million international tourists in 2017, up 21% from the previous year. The city is vital to the country’s tourism industry, receiving 25% of the 5.6 million international tourist arrivals to Cambodia in 2017. In the same year, more than 2.1 million tourists visited Cambodia from Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand.

Emirates has been serving Cambodia with passenger flights to Phnom Penh since July 2017, carrying over 100,000 passengers on the route to date. The new daily service between Dubai and Phnom Penh, via Bangkok, will also complement Emirates’ five direct daily services between Dubai and Bangkok.
