Key airlines, including AirAsia, Cambodia Airways, IndiGo, and Cambodia Angkor Air, are at the forefront of this expansion. They are set to introduce new flight services connecting Cambodia to Japan, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam. These new routes are anticipated to be "game-changing" for Cambodia’s connectivity to major Asian markets.

The introduction of these routes by multiple carriers signifies a growing interest and investment in Cambodia’s aviation potential. The focus on destinations like Japan and India suggests an effort to tap into new and growing tourism and business markets.
