Cambodia's historic national carrier of the 1990s.

Founded
1994
Headquarters
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Royal Air Cambodge was the national airline of Cambodia, operating during the 1990s as a joint venture between the Royal Government of Cambodia and Malaysia Airlines. The airline provided international and domestic services connecting Phnom Penh with destinations across Southeast Asia and beyond. The carrier struggled with financial difficulties and operational challenges throughout its existence. Malaysia Airlines held a significant stake and provided management expertise, but the airline ultimately ceased operations in 2001 following insurmountable financial losses and mounting debts. Royal Air Cambodge's collapse left Cambodia without a full-service national carrier for a period, paving the way for other airlines to fill the void in the Cambodian aviation market. The airline is remembered as an important chapter in Cambodia's post-conflict economic reconstruction efforts.
Hubs & network
The airline's primary hub was Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Fleet
Royal Air Cambodge operated a small fleet that included Boeing 737s and ATR turboprop aircraft for regional and domestic routes.
