History
In May 2017, AirAsia planned to open a subsidiary company in Cambodia to handle an increase of tourists from Malaysia visiting to the Cambodian cities of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville.[4] In November 2019, after a short hiatus, AirAsia resumed its plans to establish a Cambodian subsidiary,[5] which was supported by the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation in January 2020.[6]
On 9 December 2022, AirAsia and Sivilai Asia signed a joint venture agreement to establish AirAsia Cambodia.[7] Capital A, the holding company of the AirAsia Group,[8] would own 51% of the airline, while hospitality group Sivilai Asia would own the remaining share.[9] Subject to regulatory approvals, on 18 March 2024, the airline was launched.[10] On 2 May 2024, the airline started operations.

The airline plans to operate flights within a four-hour radius from its Cambodian bases. It would also focus on connecting ASEAN countries, as well as India, China, and North Asia.[9]
