Turkish Airlines has announced it will commence flights from Istanbul to Phnom Penh from December 2025, opening up the opportunity for passengers to fly to Cambodia via Istanbul from many UK airports.

The new route will be operated three times per week via Bangkok departing Istanbul on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat, said: “At Turkish Airlines, we continuously expand our network in Asia and strengthen our connections with strategic destinations in the region.

The launch of Phnom Penh flights marks a significant step forward in this goal. Our flights to Cambodia will create new opportunities for both tourism and business. Additionally, as the only European carrier flying to this destination, we will further solidify our leadership in the region.”

The addition of Phnom Penh extends Turkish Airlines’ far-east network to 21 airports in 20 cities.

Turkish Airlines flies to Istanbul from Heathrow Airport (LHR/EGLL), Gatwick Airport (LGW/EGKK), Manchester Airport (MAN/EGCC), Edinburgh Airport (EDI/EGPH), and Birmingham Airport (BHX/EGBB)
