On 11 April 2025 the Cambodia Airways direct route from Phnom Penh to Qixinghai (Dara Sakor) officially opened.
That day 98 passengers took off from Phnom Penh International Airport and landed safely at Qixinghai (Dara Sakor) International Airport.
The new route shortens the distance between Phnom Penh and Dara Sakor and brings the two places closer together.
On board was a newly married couple on their way to a beach wedding in Dara Sakor, which made the journey all the more special.
Air service supports tourism in Dara Sakor and draws more international visitors and investors to an area with potential.
With direct flights, Dara Sakor can connect quickly to world markets through Phnom Penh's international hub.
With the route open, Dara Sakor International Airport has upgraded its ground services,
offering passengers one-stop "air + transport + tourism" travel that is easier and more pleasant.
We look forward to welcoming you to discover Dara Sakor's unique charm!
