Emirates' Triple Seven features eight first-class suites, 42 lie-flat seats in Business Class, and 310 economy class seats configured in a 3-4-3 cabin. The airline showcased its new livery and cabin at the 2023 Dubai Airshow, and Airways had the pleasure to tour the cabin.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, commented, “The resumption of our Phnom Penh services demonstrates our commitment to strengthening our Southeast Asian network, as we continue to create more opportunities for travellers to explore diverse and culturally rich destinations, and help businesses and exporters of all sizes establish stronger trade connections. We thank the Cambodian and Singaporean authorities for their support in establishing this new route. We look forward to re-introducing our customers to yet another vibrant destination on our network as they explore the world.”
Besides EK's passenger service to Phnom Penh, Emirates SkyCargo will offer added cargo capacity for more than 300 tonnes per week in and out of the Cambodian capital.
