AirAsia passengers flying to Siem Reap, Cambodia
will soon experience a more seamless journey, as the airline
relocates operations to a bigger home at Siem
Reap – Angkor International Airport (SAI), effective 16 October 2023.
Once operational, AirAsia will utilise 16 check-in counters at
Row C01-C16, making the check-in process
faster and smoother.
The first AirAsia flight to land at
the new airport is AirAsia Malaysia flight AK542 and AK540 from
Kuala Lumpur, followed by Thai AirAsia flights FD610, FD614 and
FD618.

Passengers on those flights will receive a notification before
their scheduled departure date to inform them of the changes.
SAI airport is located in Tayek commune, Soutr Nikom
district, around 55 kilometres from the capital of Siem Reap
province. The new airport will have state-of-the-art facilities to
handle passenger and cargo traffic and provide an initial capacity
of processing up to seven million passengers annually with planned
expansions increasing that capacity to 20 million passengers
annually by 2050.
As for the passenger convenience, SAI
Airport’s ground floor is accessible to various transportation
options such as transfer buses, car rentals and taxis.
All AirAsia customers departing from the new airport are advised to
check-in online via the airasia Superapp which is available 14
days and up to 1 hour before scheduled departure time and reprint
their boarding pass at the counter.
Those with baggage to check-in are also advised to arrive at the airport at least three hours
before their scheduled departure time to allow smooth check-in
procedures.
The new airport's name in Khmer is:
