PHNOM PENH, 11 March 2026: Cambodia Airways will launch a new service between Phnom Penh and Yangon, starting 20 March 2026, marking a notable expansion for the carrier as it inaugurates direct flights to Yangon, Myanmar.
Initially, the airline schedules a twice-weekly service on Mondays and Fridays, using an A319 for the one-hour and 35-minute flight.
Cambodia Airways quotes a USD145 fare for one way on 20 March, the inaugural flight date. A round-trip fare costs USD265. (Google Flights)
Competition will be tough on the route between Cambodia and Myanmar, which is served exclusively by Myanmar Airways International (MAI). The airline quotes fares between USD130 and USD180 for one-way travel from Phnom Penh to Yangon.
Cambodia Airways will offer just two flights weekly on Monday and Friday, so MAI has the advantage with five flights weekly — Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The only downside is the mix of aircraft types MAI uses on the route, depending on the day of the week — ATR72 with 68 seats. Embraer 190 with 98 seats and an A319 with 134 seats
Flights operate from the recently opened Techo International Airport (KTI) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
