• Siem Reap International Airport welcomes Bamboo Airways’ new service as a further positive step in its path
forward for traffic recovery.
The inaugural first flight of Bamboo Airways from the Vietnamese capital Hanoi touched down at 19:20, which
marked a next crucial step in the airline’s roadmap of expanding international network. On this new route, Bamboo
Airways operates the modern Embraer-190 aircraft, thus bringing utmost convenience and flight experience
beyond expectations for its passengers.
Siem Reap International Airport had started witnessing the return of international flights in December 2021 after
a 20-month hiatus resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and its impacts on air travel. It currently accommodates
routes from/to Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hanoi, and two domestic liaisons.
The new service connecting Hanoi and Siem Reap will be conducive to restore point-to-point travels between two
of Asia’s most appealing cities known for their rich heritage and “douceur de vivre.” It will also strengthen travel
options for passengers and boost tourism growth by taking advantage of two international airport hubs.
Mr. Thach Pierre Hoang, Deputy CCO of Bamboo Airways, said: “This first nonstop Hanoi – Siem Reap flight is
Bamboo Airways’ next effort in our journey of expanding international presence. We are more than delighted to
offer 5-star oriented services at Siem Reap International Airport and look forward to leveraging this valuable
partnership with many more upcoming routes in the future. In addition, we expect our new Vietnam - Cambodia
route will fulfill its crucial role as aviation bridge and make a substantial contribution to the development of both
countries in all aspects such as tourism, economy, culture.”
Stephen KING, Chief Commercial Officer at Cambodia Airports, the company that operates the Kingdom’s 3
international airports, said: “In this challenging time, it is a breakthrough to welcome a new carrier. We are
delighted to welcome Bamboo Airways today. We know passengers will appreciate the extra choice offered by
the airline’s new service linking Vietnam’s vibrant capital Hanoi and the wonderful city of Siem Reap. This is a
further sign of the rebuilding of tourism after the successful vaccination campaign led by Cambodian authorities
and subsequent reopening of the Kingdom’s borders. We look forward to welcoming new routes between our
two countries partnering with Bamboo Airways in the coming months.”
