A Strategic Move to Enhance Tourism and Trade
Emirates’ new route to Siem Reap comes as part of the airline’s broader strategy to reinforce its presence in Asia. By adding Siem Reap to its network, Emirates not only becomes the second destination in Cambodia but also deepens its commitment to connecting travellers with the region’s cultural and historical treasures, including the famed Angkor Wat.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, commented on the expansion:
“Emirates is also making it easier for travellers to connect to Siem Reap, home to Angkor Wat – one of Cambodia’s most popular destinations with its incredible ancient wonders and natural beauty. This route will offer seamless connectivity for both leisure and business travellers.”
The introduction of this route is expected to significantly boost tourism and trade between the UAE and Cambodia. With more than 5.65 million air passengers recorded at Cambodia’s international airports in 2024—a 39.8% increase from the previous year—the demand for reliable and direct international connectivity has never been higher.
Enhancing Global Network and Passenger Experience
The launch of the Dubai-Siem Reap route further extends Emirates’ Far East network, which now connects Dubai to 24 destinations with 269 weekly flights. This expansion highlights the airline’s commitment to offering passengers extensive connectivity options. By leveraging its global hub in Dubai and seamless stopover in Bangkok, Emirates enables travellers from Europe, the UK, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Russia, and beyond to access Cambodia’s touristic and cultural attractions with ease.
Passengers on this route can expect Emirates’ award-winning in-flight experience, complete with world-class hospitality, an extensive entertainment system with over 6,500 channels, and a menu that offers both regional and international cuisine. These features, combined with the comfort of the Boeing 777-300ER, make the Dubai-Siem Reap route an attractive option for travellers worldwide.
Conclusion
The launch of Emirates’ new Dubai-Siem Reap route on June 3, 2025, marks a significant milestone in strengthening air connectivity between the Middle East and Southeast Asia. With a well-planned stopover in Bangkok and a competitive flight schedule, this service is poised to boost tourism, enhance trade, and provide unparalleled travel experiences for both leisure and business passengers. As Emirates continues to expand its global network, travellers can look forward to seamless connectivity that opens up new possibilities in exploring Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.
