Air Cambodia, the country’s national flag carrier, has formally unveiled a new brand identity and aircraft livery, marking a major milestone in its transformation and long-term growth strategy. The rebranding comes alongside plans to expand the airline’s fleet and introduce new flight routes, reinforcing its ambition to strengthen Cambodia’s presence in regional and global aviation.

The unveiling ceremony was held at Techo International Airport (KTI) under the presidency of Mao Havannall, Minister in Charge of the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA), and was attended by airline executives and key aviation stakeholders. The event symbolized a new chapter for the airline as it positions itself for expanded operations and renewed visibility on the international stage.

Speaking at the ceremony, Havannall disclosed that the new logo and aircraft livery were officially approved by the Royal Government on November 7, 2025. This approval followed the airline’s earlier rebranding from Cambodia Angkor Air to Air Cambodia in September 2024, a move aimed at aligning the carrier more closely with national identity and future-focused aspirations.

The newly unveiled logo draws its inspiration from the ibis, Cambodia’s national bird, which forms the core of the brand identity. In a creative fusion of heritage and modern aviation, the ibis in flight is stylized with wings designed to resemble aircraft engines. The design incorporates 18 air intakes, symbolizing technology, stability, and forward progress. The color palette—blue, red, and white—echoes the colors of the Cambodian national flag, reinforcing the airline’s role as a national symbol.

Air Cambodia confirmed that its aircraft fleet will be progressively repainted in the new livery in line with standard maintenance schedules. This phased approach, the airline said, will ensure operational efficiency while gradually introducing the refreshed brand across its network.

Beyond the visual transformation, the airline is also scaling up its operational capacity. As part of its expansion drive, Air Cambodia has recently added three ATR72-600 aircraft to its fleet. In addition, it has confirmed firm orders for 20 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft and 20 COMAC C909 aircraft, signaling a significant investment in fleet modernization and route expansion.

Havannall commended the airline’s progress and strategic direction, particularly its acquisition of new aircraft types from Boeing of the United States and COMAC of China, as well as its efforts to expand flight services. He described the rebranding as more than a visual change, noting that it reflects the airline’s growing responsibility in projecting Cambodia’s national image to the world.

“The new logo confirms the increasingly important role of Air Cambodia in presenting the Cambodian national identity globally,” Havannall said. “It also reflects the progress of civil aviation, tourism, trade, culture, and people-to-people exchanges in the Kingdom through air transportation.”

He further emphasized that, despite ongoing global and industry-specific challenges, the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation remains a strategic partner to private sector operators. According to him, the SSCA will continue to support initiatives that promote the growth of passenger and cargo air transport, enhance aviation safety and security, and advance aviation infrastructure development in line with Cambodia’s National Development Strategy.

With its renewed brand identity, expanding fleet, and strengthened institutional support, Air Cambodia is positioning itself as a key driver of connectivity, economic growth, and national representation in the years ahead.
