- Air Cambodia passengers can connect directly to Abu Dhabi, a major hub for business and tourism.

Wider travel options
- Etihad guests can also access Air Cambodia’s Vietnam network, including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Phu Quoc, through their interline partnership. - This builds on Etihad’s October 2025 launch of flights between Abu Dhabi and Phnom Penh.

Leadership perspectives

- Eng Molina (Air Cambodia) highlighted how the partnership strengthens ties between Southeast Asia and the Middle East, inviting more visitors to explore Angkor Wat and Cambodia’s heritage.
