AVIAREPS has been appointed as Air Cambodia’s Cargo General Sales & Service Agent (GSSA) in Japan, expanding its existing partnership with the airline and strengthening Air Cambodia’s cargo presence in the Japanese market. The appointment took effect on September 1, 2026.
Under the new mandate, AVIAREPS Japan will manage cargo space sales, reservations, customer service and market development for shipments originating in Japan and moving to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and Fuzhou, China. The company will also work with freight industry partners to build customer relationships and generate additional cargo demand.
Expanding Air Cambodia’s Cargo Network
Air Cambodia currently operates three weekly flights on the Narita–Fuzhou–Phnom Penh route, using Airbus A320 aircraft. Even with high passenger loads, each flight can accommodate approximately 2–3 tonnes of cargo, providing additional belly-hold capacity for Japanese exporters.
The route was launched in October 2025 as a fifth-freedom service, connecting Tokyo Narita with Fuzhou and Phnom Penh. The service provides direct air connectivity between Japan and Cambodia while also opening cargo access to Fuzhou in China.
AVIAREPS Expands Japanese Cargo Portfolio
The cargo appointment builds on AVIAREPS’ existing relationship with Air Cambodia. The company has been representing the airline as its Passenger General Sales Agent in Japan, and will now add cargo sales and commercial development to its responsibilities.
AVIAREPS has also expanded its aviation representation business in Japan during 2026, taking on passenger and cargo mandates for several international airlines.
Air Cambodia said Japan represents an important market with further potential for air cargo growth. The airline expects AVIAREPS’ local market knowledge, customer relationships and air cargo expertise to help increase cargo volumes and strengthen trade and logistics links between Japan and Cambodia.
Focus on Cargo Growth
For AVIAREPS, the new mandate will involve promoting Air Cambodia’s cargo services, increasing awareness among Japanese freight customers and developing new business opportunities along the airline’s Japan–Cambodia and Japan–China connectivity.
The appointment comes as Air Cambodia seeks to strengthen the commercial potential of its international network, while AVIAREPS continues to expand its role as a sales and marketing partner for airlines in the Japanese aviation market.
