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. In November 2019, after a short hiatus, AirAsia resumed its plans to establish a Cambodian subsidiary, which was supported by the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation in January 2020.
On 9 December 2022, AirAsia and Sivilai Asia signed a joint venture agreement to establish AirAsia Cambodia. Capital A, the holding company of the AirAsia Group, would own 51% of the airline, while hospitality group Sivilai Asia would own the remaining share. Subject to regulatory approvals, on 18 March 2024, the airline was launched. On 2 May 2024, the airline started operations.
