Cambodia Airways is an airline based in Cambodia.[2] The company slogan is The Wings of Cambodia. Cambodia Airways has been linked in reporting to the Cambodian conglomerate Prince Holding Group.[3]

As of January 2024, Cambodia Airways is the third largest airline in Cambodia by passenger traffic.[4]

History

Cambodia Airways was founded on 10 July 2018 by Chen Zhi, a naturalized Cambodian of Chinese descent, who has been charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with being "the mastermind behind a sprawling cyber-fraud empire",[5] and was a part of Chen's Prince Group.[6][7] Chen held the position of founding chairman in the airline until December 2023.[8]

By the end of August 2019, Cambodia Airways serves eight routes from its hub in Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and Sihanoukville for domestic flights, and for the international ones are to Macau, Taipei and Taichung (both in Taiwan for charter flights), Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport), and Fuzhou (Mainland China).[9]

In 2024, Cambodia Airways filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq. The prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission stated that the company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and listed Singaporean national Ng Hwa Kong as the company's chairman.[10] Radio Free Asia described Cambodia Airways as a subsidiary of Prince International Airlines and as connected to Prince Holding Group.[3][11]
