AKP Phnom Penh, September 26, 2025 --

Air Cambodia, the national flag carrier, successfully launched direct flights from Sihanoukville, Cambodia, to Shenzhen, China on Sept. 25. 

The inaugural flights were nearly full for both directions, indicating a further strengthening of the ties between the two major commercial centres of Cambodia and China, underlined Air Cambodia. 

According to Air Cambodia, this is the only direct flight between the two cities, filling a market gap. It is another important route to Shenzhen, following the opening of Phnom Penh-Shenzhen and Siem Reap-Shenzhen routes. 

As the flag carrier of Cambodia, Air Cambodia fully responds to the "2025 Cambodia-China Tourism Year" agreed upon by the two governments, actively expanding new destinations to meet the growing business and travel needs of the peoples of the two countries. 

In addition, on October 26 this year, Air Cambodia will also grandly open the golden route of Phnom Penh-Fuzhou-Tokyo, directly connecting Fuzhou, an important economic centre in China, with the capitals of Cambodia and Japan. Passengers can book flights from Tokyo to Phnom Penh, as well as flights from Fuzhou to Tokyo and from Fuzhou to Phnom Penh.
