Bangkok, 26 May, 2022 – Cambodia Airways has launched a new direct service between Phnom Penh and Samui, with two flights a week operating on Tuesday and Friday.

On hand at Samui Airport to personally welcome fifty passengers on Cambodia Airways’ inaugural Phnom Penh-Samui flight on Friday 20 May, 2022, were representatives from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Koh Samui Municipality Tourism Council of Surat Thani Province, Koh Samui Tourism Promotion Association, Southern Thai Hotels Association, East Coast Samui Spa Association, and Samui Airport.
