The overwhelming response as seen today signifies a strong pent-up demand for international leisure travel and we expect a strong rebound as international restrictions continue to ease. AirAsia is proud to support this initiative by the Cambodian government and we look forward to launching more flights to the country soon. From an operational standpoint, we have extensively prepared to ensure all of our guests can travel safely, seamlessly and with peace of mind.” Fully vaccinated travelers from Malaysia who wish to travel to Cambodia must meet the requirements set by the Cambodian government prior to purchasing their flights and upon arrival.
