Cambodia Angkor Air, the national flag carrier airline of Cambodia

Phnom Penh─ Cambodia Angkor Air, the national flag carrier airline of Cambodia, has launched in which is considered to be the very first domestic air cargo service in Cambodia.

This new cargo service, which is called “Angkor Express Go”, will be transporting goods from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, with convenient and rapid shipment service.

Customers can enjoy transferring a variety of goods, ranging from documents, foods, fruits to perishable products that are prone to decay easily.

The airline believes there will be a large potential for this shipment service, since there has so far been a huge demand from customers for domestic transportation service, including air transport. Although the cost might be a bit higher than the normal land transport, Cambodia Angkor Air expects that people will shift their attentions to and support this air cargo service, as it is faster, safer, and able to maintain the quality of the products better, which is indeed, very ideal for transporting fragile items.
