Vietnam Airlines to launch direct flights between Hanoi and Phnom Penh
The new direct flight service is scheduled to commence on October 27, with four weekly flights operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, using the Airbus A321 aircraft.
By the end of October, Vietnam Airlines will operate a total of five flights between Vietnam and Cambodia, including four direct routes: Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh-Phnom Penh and Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh-Siem Reap, along with another flight operated by Indochina Airlines. This will increase the total number of flights between the two countries to 86 per week. Vietnam Airlines has a long history of connecting Vietnam and Cambodia, with the first flights dating back 31 years.
Expanding its network in Cambodia remains a key strategic objective for the airline, reflecting the enduring and close ties between the neighbouring countries. Over the past three decades, Vietnam Airlines has transported nearly 8.2 million passengers and 28,400 tons of cargo on more than 81,000 flights between Vietnam and Cambodia. Cambodia has become a vital market for aviation and tourism, with air passenger numbers growing by 24 per cent annually, reaching approximately 450,000 passengers. In 2023, Vietnam became the second-largest source of tourists to Cambodia, with over 1 million visitors, while more than 400,000 Cambodian tourists visited Vietnam, ranking eighth in the international market.
The new Hanoi – Phnom Penh direct flights mark a significant step forward in enhancing the aviation and tourism sectors of both countries, promoting economic, social, and cultural development, and reinforcing the strong bilateral cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia.
