On October 10, Cambodia Airways officially resumed its direct passenger service between Phnom Penh and Sanya, Hainan. The route operates twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with flight KR9755 outbound and KR9756 on the return leg.

What makes this service notable is its use of fifth freedom traffic rights, effectively linking Phnom Penh, Sanya, and Singapore on a single corridor. Aircraft depart Phnom Penh, transit through Sanya Phoenix International Airport, and continue on to Singapore before making the reverse journey back.

For business travelers and expatriates based in the region, the extra connectivity provides far more routing flexibility. Beyond cutting travel friction between Hainan and Indochina, it also gives passengers headed to Singapore an alternative path that bypasses more congested traditional hubs.
