Emirates inks plans for daily services to Phnom Penh

Emirates is planning to bring back its daily Phnom Penh service, increasing connectivity in Asia.

The daily Phnom Penh service will start on the 1st of May 2024 and will operate via Singapore Changi.

In terms of operations, the following timetable is planned:

EK348 DEPART DXB 02:30 ARRIVE SIN 14:05 DEPART SIN 15:35   ARRIVE PNH 16:35
EK349 DEPART PNH 20:50 ARRIVE SIN 23:50 DEPART SIN 01:40+1 ARRIVE DXB 04:55+1

Commences 1st May
Operates Daily via Singapore
Booked Equipmnet: Emirates Three-Class Boeing 777-300ER

Emirates will deploy a Boeing 777-300ER on this route, fitted with 8 First Class private suites, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class and 310 seats in Economy Class.

In addition, the airline will offer its belly-hold capacity via Emirates SkyCargo, being able to lift more than 300 tonnes of cargo per week in and out of Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh’s linked schedule with Singapore is timed to provide optimal connecting opportunities to and from multiple cities in France, the UK, Germany, Switzerland and the United States.

For passengers between Dubai and Singapore, there will be benefits too, as the airline scales to operating four flights a day between the two cities.

Tickets can be booked online through the Emirates site, its sales channels or the usual travel agents

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President, and Chief Commercial Officer commented:

“The resumption of our Phnom Penh services demonstrates our commitment to strengthening our Southeast Asian network, as we continue to create more opportunities for travellers to explore diverse and culturally rich destinations, and help businesses and exporters of all sizes establish stronger trade connections.

We thank the Cambodian and Singaporean authorities for their support in establishing this new route. We look forward to re-introducing our customers to yet another vibrant destination on our network as they explore the world.” 

Expanding connectivity in Cambodia and Singapore

It’s another welcome sign that Emirates can reintroduce routes to the network that took the earliest hits during early 2020.

However, the real prize is the fourth daily flight to Singapore, which will provide an extra 360 seats a day between Dubai and the Lion City – and an extra slot providing both connectivity and lift for more passengers will be extremely welcome by Emirates, as they seek to solidify their network and operations in Asia.
