Malaysian national cargo carrier Raya Airways has added Phnom Penh to its service roster in response to growing demand for air freight shipments of consumer products such as textiles and garments, the company said yesterday.

Raya spokesperson Siti Rozalina Mohd Noor said the airline commenced its first flight to the Cambodian capital on March 26 and was operating a Boeing 727-200 on a circular route from Kuala Lumpur to Phnom Penh via Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, then back direct to Kuala Lumpur.

“Raya’s expectation is to increase the frequency [of flights] – currently two times per week – and also the capacity into Cambodia,” Mohd Noor said.

Raya’s 727-200 aircraft has a cargo payload capacity of 22 tonnes.
