Etihad and Air Cambodia enter codeshare partnership

Etihad Airways has launched a codeshare partnership with Air Cambodia, boosting connectivity between the UAE and Southeast Asia. 

 

Passengers can now travel across Etihad’s network to Siem Reap via Phnom Penh on a single-ticket itinerary, with baggage checked through to the final destination. Meanwhile, Air Cambodia travellers can book Etihad’s Phnom Penh–Abu Dhabi services. 

 

Siem Reap, Cambodia’s second-largest city, is home to Angkor Wat, a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of Southeast Asia’s most notable religious and archaeological landmarks. Beyond its temples, the city features vibrant night markets, the floating villages in Tonlé Sap Lake and traditional Khmer cuisine. 

 

In addition to increased access to Cambodia, the agreement enables Etihad passengers to travel to Vietnam through Air Cambodia’s interline network, including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Phu Quoc.

The partnership builds on Etihad’s existing daily service to Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, launched in October 2025. Globally, the airline is also introducing new routes to major hubs in Africa and mainland China, while ramping up services to the US cities of Chicago and Charlotte.

 

International tourism is growing in Cambodia, with arrivals from the Middle East up by 2.5% year-on-year in 2025, according to the Ministry of Tourism. Egypt was the largest inbound market, followed by Saudi Arabia and Jordan. 

 

In the hospitality sector, Shinta Mani Angkor in Siem Reap recently joined The Set, an independent collection of global hotels. Located in the city’s French Quarter, the property’s key offering is its 10 two-storey villas, each featuring a private pool, rooftop lounge and butler service.
