According to the Khmer Times, Air Cambodia issued a press release on 15 January 2026 announcing that it has signed agreements with Boeing to purchase 20 Boeing 737 MAX 8 (B737-8) aircraft and with Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) to purchase 20 C909 aircraft. This news was announced at the unveiling ceremony of Air Cambodia's new logo and new aircraft livery at Techo International Airport in Cambodia.

The new logo of Air Cambodia is inspired by the national bird of Cambodia, the Tror Yorng (meaning Giant Ibis in English). In Cambodian traditional culture, the Tror Yorng is regarded as a symbol of protection, strength and sacred auspiciousness. The new logo features a bird's beak tilted upwards at a 45-degree angle, cleverly integrating the bird's 18 feathers with aircraft engine blades, symbolizing soaring ambitions and powerful performance. 

The ibis' body, however, is not seen.

In terms of visual design, the new livery uses royal blue as the main colour, complemented by gold, white and red, expressing Air Cambodia's unwavering pursuit of faith in the skies and professional authority, while striving to interpret the noble Khmer culture, a tranquil flight experience and warm in-flight service.
