All Nippon Airways announced it will launch daily flights to Phnom Penh later this year.
Japan’s largest carrier will begin flights from Tokyo’s Narita International Airport on September 1 and it will become the first direct air route between Japan and Cambodia.
Cambodia will be the eighth ASEAN nation in the ANA network.
"Our new services to Phnom Penh will meet increasing business travel demand. Companies around the world are eying the rapidly emerging Cambodian market, drawn to Phnom Penh as a manufacturing centre and the country as a high-potential market for their products and services," ANA said in a statement.
"Direct flights will drive an increase in the number of Japanese tourists because of the convenience," said Kong Sophearak, director general of statistics at the Cambodian ministry of tourism.
Japan is the seventh largest source market for tourism to the Kingdom according to the most recent tourism ministry data.
