Cambodia's national flag carrier Air Cambodia said on Tuesday that it has welcomed the arrival of the first brand-new ATR 72-600 aircraft, marking a new chapter in its fleet modernization and network expansion.



The new plane touched down at the Phnom Penh International Airport on Monday, said an Air Cambodia's press release, adding that it was one of the three ATR 72-600 aircraft, that the airline purchased within 2025.



The press release said, the second and third aircraft are expected to arrive in the kingdom in October and November.



It adds, "This milestone marks the beginning of a new era in the airline's ongoing efforts to modernize its fleet, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen domestic and regional connectivity."



To meet the growing demand for international travel, Air Cambodia is actively planning to expand its route network to high-potential markets, including Northeast Asia, China, South Asia, and Australia.
