The Dubai – Yangon – Phnom Penh daily itinerary will be operated onboard Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and coincides with the airline’s direct route to Hanoi, which will no longer stop in Myanmar’s capital.

The Cambodian city has become a significant tourist destination following recent growth and infrastructure development.

In 2015, 4.7 million tourists flocked to the country, a figure that is forecasted to grow to eight million by 2020.

Additionally, Phnom Penh International Airport was extended in March 2016 which doubled passenger capacity.
