Emirates has exciting news for travelers as it has announced the resumption of its daily Phnom Penh service. Starting from 1 May, the airline will fly via Singapore, which will provide better Southeast Asian connectivity to and from Dubai. With this move, Emirates aims to connect two trade and leisure centers in the region. So, if you're planning a trip to Southeast Asia, Emirates has got you covered with its daily service to Phnom Penh.

The flight will be operated with a three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Emirates’ flight EK348 will depart Dubai at 0230hrs and arrives in Singapore at 1405hrs. The flight will then depart Singapore at 1535hrs arriving in Phnom Penh at 1635hrs. Emirates’ return flight EK349 will leave Phnom Penh at 2050hrs and arrives in Singapore at 2350hrs.

Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, Adnan Kazim, stated that the resumption of the Phnom Penh services demonstrates the airline's commitment to strengthen its Southeast Asian network, create more opportunities for travelers to explore diverse destinations, and help businesses and exporters establish stronger trade connections. Emirates SkyCargo will also offer cargo bellyhold capacity on the Boeing 777-300ER of over 300 tonnes per week in and out of Phnom Penh. Main commodities exported from Phnom Penh includes textiles, pharmaceuticals, and other high-value commodities.

Phnom Penh’s linked schedule with Singapore is conveniently timed, providing optimal connecting opportunities to and from multiple cities in France, UK, Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. Through this additional connection, Emirates will serve Singapore with four daily flights starting from 1 May.

Phnom Penh is widely known for its heritage sites and tourist attractions, including the Royal Palace with the Silver Pagoda, and the National Museum. The city is also building a new international airport with plans to start operations in 2025, replacing the current Phnom Penh International Airport and improving Cambodia’s connectivity with the world.
