Cambodia Angkor Air and JC (International) Airlines have both appointed Asia Airfreight Terminal to handle their new flights to Hong Kong.

“Cambodia has long been one of Southeast Asia’s most exotic tourist destinations, and in recent years manufacturing has played an increasingly important role in its economic development, particularly in the textiles and garments industry,” said Kuah Boon Kiam, general manager of AAT. “The increase in direct air links will boost trade opportunities between Cambodia and China via the gateway of Hong Kong.”

The airline recently launched a twice-weekly flight between Siem Reap and Hong Kong, using an Airbus A320.

“We sincerely welcome the cooperation between Cambodia Angkor Air and AAT,” said Trinh Hong Minh, general manager of cargo at Cambodia Angkor Air. “We look forward to working smoothly and fruitfully with AAT for cargo transportation in the future.”

JC (International) Airlines now also serves Hong Kong twice a week from Phnom Penh and Siem Reap with an Airbus A320.
