Boeing (BA) and Air Cambodia on Tuesday said the airline has placed its first order for Boeing aircraft, agreeing to buy as many as 20 737 Max jets that will be used to update and expand its fleet.
The agreement, announced at the Singapore Airshow, includes a firm order for 10 737-8 aircraft and options for 10 additional planes. The firm portion of the deal was finalized in December 2025 and had previously been listed as an unidentified customer on Boeing’s (BA) orders and deliveries data.

The aircraft are expected to replace older planes and support Air Cambodia’s regional growth. The airline currently operates six single-aisle and regional jets on routes within Cambodia and to destinations including Vietnam, India, Thailand, China, Japan and Hong Kong.
According to Boeing (BA), the 737-8 typically seats up to 178 passengers in a two-class layout and has a range of about 3,500 nautical miles. The manufacturer says the model is designed to lower operating costs, with reduced fuel consumption and emissions compared with earlier-generation aircraft.
Boeing (BA) projects continued demand for single-aisle jets in Southeast Asia over the next two decades, with most new aircraft deliveries in the region expected to fall into that category.
