- Operates direct flights between Incheon and Siem Reap twice weekly

Coming April 1, Asiana Airlines launches flights to Angkor Wat, Cambodia, known for one of humankind's most astonishing and enduring architectural achievements.
An Asiana flight will depart Incheon International Port at 7:40 p.m. and arrive at Siem Reap at 20:50 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays. A returning Asiana flight will leave Siem Reap at 11:50 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays and arrive at Incheon International Airport at 7:10 a.m., the following day.
Asiana's direct flight to Siem Reap will benefit tourists wanting to tour Angkor Wat. Tourists have so far arrived to the famous tourist destination via Bangkok. With its direct flight to Siem Reap, Asiana Airlines plans to put on the market tour courses linking Angkor Wat and Ha Long Bay, one of the attractions in the northern region of Vietnam, officials said.
An A320 aircraft with 141 seats will be put into operation on the new route, and combined 45,000 seats will be available on the route per year.
The temples of Angkor Wat, built from 879 to 119 AD when the Khmer civilization was at the height of its development, are highlighted as one of humankind's most astonishing and enduring architectural achievements. nw
