ABU DHABI, UAE (WAM) – Etihad Airways and Air Cambodia have launched a codeshare partnership today, giving Etihad customers easier access to Cambodia’s iconic Angkor Wat temple complex and one of Southeast Asia’s most captivating destinations.
Through the partnership, Etihad customers can book flights from across its network to Siem Reap via Phnom Penh on a single ticket, with baggage checked through to their final destination. Beyond the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, the city offers vibrant night markets, traditional Khmer cuisine, and rich cultural experiences that draw visitors from across the globe. Air Cambodia passengers will also be able to book Etihad’s service between Phnom Penh and Abu Dhabi.

Our passengers gain direct access to Abu Dhabi, an important hub for business, trade, and tourism, while Etihad’s customers can explore Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage. We look forward to welcoming more visitors to discover the wonders of Angkor Wat and beyond.”
Additionally, Etihad guests can access Air Cambodia’s Vietnam network through the airlines’ interline partnership, opening up further travel options across Southeast Asia, including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Phu Quoc.
