Bamboo Airways made its inaugural flights from the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi to the popular tourist hotspot of Siem Reap in Cambodia on 7 August.
Siem Reap Airport, which is operated by Cambodia Airports (a Vinci Airports concession) welcomed the return of international flights in December 2021, following a 20-month hiatus resulting from COVID-19 and its impact on air travel. The hub which serves as a gateway to one of Camodia’s main tourist highlights currently accommodates routes from/ to Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hanoi and two domestic airports.
Bamboo’s new service connecting Hanoi and Siem Reap is being flown on an Embraer-190 aircraft and will be conducive to restoring point-to-point connectivity between two of Asia’s most appealing cities. It will also strengthen travel options for passengers and boost tourism growth by taking advantage of two international airport hubs.
“This first nonstop Hanoi-Siem Reap flight is Bamboo Airways’ next effort in our journey of expanding our international presence,” said Thach Pierre Hoang, Deputy CCO of Bamboo Airways. “We are more than delighted to offer 5-star oriented services at Siem Reap International Airport and look forward to leveraging this valuable partnership with many more upcoming routes in the future. In addition, we expect our new Vietnam – Cambodia route will fulfil its crucial role as aviation bridge and make a substantial contribution to the development of both countries in all aspects such as tourism, economy and culture.”
