Turkish Airlines will commence flights from Istanbul to Phnom Penh on December 10, 2025, establishing the first regular service between Europe and Cambodia’s capital.
The service – marking the seventh flag carrier to fly to Phnom Penh – is set to improve trade relations between Türkiye and Cambodia, contributing to the Asian country’s economy.
