On 14 January 2026, Air Cambodia receives its latest ATR72-600 aircraft that shows the airline's new logo and livery painted by VAECO in Ho Chi Minh City.

The logo depicts the giant ibis flight posture in the shape of C, which stands for Cambodia but the bird looks as if being trapped within the blades-like winglets.

The official airline name colour on the aircraft shows gold rather than black.

Air Cambodia has not yet refreshed its web-site and the remaining fleet with the new logo and new livery. The airline is first renamed from Cambodia Angkor Air on 1 January 2025.
