This thrice‑weekly service, operated with Airbus A320neo aircraft, expands IndiGo’s international footprint to 46 destinations.
IndiGo, India’s largest airline by passenger volume and fleet, has commenced direct flights between Kolkata and Siem Reap, marking the first air link between India and Cambodia by an Indian carrier. The thrice‑weekly service, launched on November 13, is operated using Airbus A320neo aircraft and expands IndiGo’s international footprint to 46 destinations.
Pieter Elbers, CEO, IndiGo, said the flight to Siem Reap not only broadens IndiGo’s network across Southeast Asia but also strengthens global connectivity from its Kolkata hub.
“This new service is India’s first direct air link to Cambodia operated by an Indian carrier, and we believe it will play a vital role in fostering deeper ties between India and the ASEAN region. As we continue to build bridges across Asia’s dynamic economies and cultural destinations, this new route reflects IndiGo’s commitment to connecting people, cultures, and opportunities.”
Siem Reap, Cambodia’s second‑largest city and gateway to the UNESCO‑listed Angkor Wat, is expected to attract growing volumes of Indian leisure and cultural travellers. Cambodia offers simplified entry through visa on arrival and e‑visa options, further easing access for Indian tourists.
The flight operates on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, departing Kolkata at 0150 hrs and arriving in Siem Reap at 0620 hrs local time. The return leg departs Siem Reap at 0720 hrs and lands in Kolkata at 0855 hrs.
