Cambodia Investment Review
Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, is optimistic about the addition of a new route between UAE and Siem Reap, according to the airline’s Cambodia-based executive team.
According to Mohammed Al Qassim, Emirates’ Country Manager for Cambodia, the latest addition to Emirates’ Cambodian flight network is expected to expand the growth of passenger numbers from the UAE (United Arab Emirates) to Cambodia and further enhance the implementation of the UAE-Cambodia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) which paves the way for a new era of trade and investment cooperation between Cambodia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Emirates announced the addition of a Dubai-Siem Reap flight on March 3rd saying that the airline will introduce three weekly flights from Dubai to Siem Reap via Bangkok from 3 June*.
Ultimately Support the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism’s Vision
“Emirates addition of a new route between Dubai and Siem Reap will ultimately support the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism’s vision to propel tourism development in the country, in line with their BUILD Plus 3Ds strategy,” said Mohammed Al Qassim, Emirates’ Country Manager for Cambodia. ““We have noticed that Cambodia is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for passengers across our global network and we, at Emirates, want to promote and facilitate that trend.”
The airline’s three weekly services to Siem Reap will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.** Emirates flight EK370 will depart from Dubai at 0900hrs and arrives in Bangkok at 1825hrs. The flight will then depart from Bangkok at 2010hrs and arrives in Siem Reap at 2130hrs. The return flight EK371 will depart from Siem Reap at 0015hrs and arrives in Bangkok at 0135hrs. The flight will then take off at 0340hrs, arriving in Dubai at 0650hrs. All times are local.
Optimally Timed To Offer Leisure Travellers Connectivity
The new Emirates route will operate with a two-class Boeing 777-300ER which offers 35 lie flat seats in Business Class and 386 spacious seats in Economy Class.
Emirates’ service to Siem Reap is optimally timed to offer leisure travellers connectivity via multiple daily operations from France, UK, Spain, Germany, Portugal and Russia.
Emirates already operates daily return flights from Dubai to the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, via Singapore.
Travellers to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap will be immersed in Emirates’ signature hospitality throughout their journey, savouring regionally-inspired cuisine and premium beverages across all cabin classes. The airline’s award-winning ice entertainment system transforms each flight into a personalised theatre, offering an extensive library of over 6,500 channels spanning international films, TV series, music, podcasts, and games in more than 40 languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, and Khmer.
