Turkish Airlines will be launching flights from Istanbul to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on December 10, 2025. The flights will be travelling there via Bangkok, three times a week. Flights from Istanbul to Phnom Penh will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, while flights from Phnom Penh to Istanbul will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
With this new destination, Cambodia will become the seventh country served by the Türkiye flag carrier in Southeast Asia, with Phnom Penh being the 11th city it serves in the region.
Set to improve trade relations between Türkiye and Cambodia, as well as offering travellers easier access to one of the key destinations in the region, the new Phnom Penh flights will expand the airline’s Far East network to 20 cities and 21 airports.
Commenting on the new route, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat, said: “As Turkish Airlines, we continuously expand our network in Asia and strengthen our connections with strategic destinations in the region. The launch of Phnom Penh flights marks a significant step forward in this goal. Our flights to Cambodia will create new opportunities for both tourism and business. Additionally, as the only European carrier flying to this destination, we will further solidify our leadership in the region.”
