Emirates relaunches its daily Phnom Penh service via Singapore, reaffirming its commitment to connectivity in the region. This new route not only strengthens the airline’s presence in Southeast Asia but also enhances travel options between Singapore and Cambodia.
The inaugural EK348 flight, departing from Dubai at 0130 hrs, made a symbolic touchdown in Singapore at 1305 hrs before continuing its journey to Phnom Penh at 1535 hrs.
