Siem Reap is Malaysia Airlines' Latest Cambodian Destination

June 1, 2004 -- Malaysia Airlines is adding another international destination to its network by inaugurating scheduled air services linking Kuala Lumpur with Siem Reap, Cambodia's gateway to Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Effective June 3, 2004, Malaysia Airlines will operate three weekly flights on Monday, Thursday and Saturday between Kuala Lumpur and Siem Reap. The outbound flight departs Kuala Lumpur at 11 a.m., arriving in Siem Reap at 12:10 p.m. The return flight departs Siem Reap at 1 p.m. with a stopover in Phnom Penh to arrive Kuala Lumpur at 5:20 p.m. A two-class configured Boeing 737-400 aircraft with 16 Business and 128 Economy Class seats will be used for this new service, providing a total capacity of 432 seats per week per direction.

With the introduction of this new service, Siem Reap becomes Malaysia Airlines' second Cambodian destination. The first was Phnom Penh, which was linked to the airline's network since 15 July 1992.
