India’s outbound travel landscape is rapidly evolving, with Southeast Asia emerging as a hotspot for culturally immersive and affordable experiences. Within this context, Aeroprime Group’s recent move to take on the Passenger GSA role for Air Cambodia reflects a timely and strategic expansion. From the lens of industry development, this partnership marks more than a commercial partnership—it signifies an important step in strengthening
India-Cambodia connectivity and shaping travel demand for newer and offbeat destinations.
Abhishek Goyal, CEO & Executive Director, Aeroprime Group, views the partnership as a natural extension of the company’s long-term growth strategy. It previously served as Air Cambodia’s Cargo GSA, which provided valuable operational insights and laid the groundwork for expanding into passenger services. “This expanded mandate aligns perfectly with our vision to represent high-potential international carriers, opens new travel corridors, and offers integrated solutions that support bilateral tourism and trade,” he shares.
In an increasingly competitive Southeast Asian aviation market, visibility and differentiation are key. He says, “Our strategy is two-fold: a strong B2B backbone complemented by sharp consumer outreach. While targeted social media campaigns and collaborations with tourism boards will drive awareness among travellers, the company is also investing heavily in the trade ecosystem—rolling out training modules, incentives and familiarisation trips for Indian agents. These efforts will ensure Air Cambodia is top-of-mind when Indian consumers seek culturally immersive, value-for-money international getaways.”
The timing couldn’t be better. The newly launched Phnom Penh–Delhi route has already generated healthy load factors and positive traveller feedback. According to Goyal, the convenience of direct connectivity and Cambodia’s rich heritage—exemplified by landmarks like Angkor Wat—are resonating strongly with Indian travellers. Encouraged by the initial traction, the company is evaluating additional frequencies and expanding services to other Indian cities. Notably, Air Cambodia also offers seamless access to destinations like Siem Reap, Guangzhou and Da Nang, creating regional travel opportunities beyond the capital.
