Emirates has recently launched new flights to two additional Asian destinations, Da Nang in Vietnam and Siem Reap in Cambodia, further expanding its East Asian network to 23 points. Both new routes are operated via Bangkok, Thailand, using Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, which offer First, Business, and Economy Class cabins.

The inaugural flight to Da Nang took off on June 2nd 2025, followed by Siem Reap on June 3rd  2025. These services provide travellers with seamless connectivity between Dubai, Bangkok and either Da Nang or Siem Reap, all on a single ticket. The Da Nang route is expected to operate with up to 25 weekly flights, while Siem Reap will be served by three weekly flights via Bangkok.

Emirates’ expansion is part of a broader strategy to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia and reinforce Bangkok’s role as a regional hub. The new routes are expected to boost tourism and trade and are supported by partnerships with local airlines and tourism authorities.

Additionally, Emirates has announced plans to launch daily non-stop flights between Dubai and Shenzhen, China, starting July 1st  2025, further solidifying its position as a leading international airline in Asia.
