Emirates Resumes Daily Flights to Phnom Penh with Stopover in Singapore

Emirates is set to resume its daily Phnom Penh service on 1 May through Singapore, enhancing its connectivity between Southeast Asia and Dubai and connecting two key trade and leisure hubs in the region.

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, expressed, “The revival of our Phnom Penh route highlights our dedication to strengthening our Southeast Asian network. By offering more opportunities for travelers to visit diverse and culturally rich destinations, we aim to foster stronger trade connections for businesses of all sizes.”

The service will utilize a three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with flight EK348 departing Dubai at 0230hrs and reaching Singapore at 1405hrs. Subsequently, the flight will depart Singapore at 1535hrs and arrive in Phnom Penh at 1635hrs. The return flight, EK349, will leave Phnom Penh at 2050hrs, arrive in Singapore at 2350hrs, and depart Singapore at 0140hrs the following day, landing in Dubai at 0455hrs. All mentioned times are local.

The schedule for Phnom Penh’s connection with Singapore is strategically timed, offering convenient connecting options to and from several cities in France, UK, Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. As a result of this added route, Emirates will operate four daily flights to Singapore starting from 1 May.

Emirates SkyCargo will also provide cargo bellyhold capacity on the Boeing 777-300ER, enabling the transportation of more than 300 tonnes of goods per week to and from Phnom Penh. The city primarily exports textiles, pharmaceuticals, and other high-value products.

The new Emirates service will feature 8 First Class private suites, 42 lie-flat Business Class seats, and 310 spacious Economy Class seats. Passengers can indulge in the airline’s acclaimed service and cutting-edge amenities across all classes, including regionally-inspired cuisine, a wide range of entertainment options through the ice inflight entertainment system, and complimentary beverages. Tickets can be conveniently booked online via the Emirates website or through authorized travel agents.

Phnom Penh, situated in Cambodia’s south-central region, is a pivotal economic, industrial, and cultural center experiencing rapid growth in infrastructure and economy. As a popular hub for tourism and trade in Southeast Asia, the city attracts travelers from Europe and the Americas. Plans for a new international airport set to operate in 2025 aim to enhance Cambodia’s global connectivity, replacing the current Phnom Penh International Airport.

Renowned for its heritage sites such as the Royal Palace with the Silver Pagoda and the National Museum, Phnom Penh also offers access to the famous Angkor Wat temple complex near Siem Reap through Emirates’ daily services to the city and a unilateral agreement with Cambodia Air.
