SIA flights between S'pore and Cambodia, S'pore and Thailand, operating normally amid border dispute
A spokesperson for the SIA Group said its top priority is the safety of customers and its employees.
SINGAPORE – All Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights between Singapore and Cambodia, as well as between Singapore and Thailand, continue to operate normally despite a
deadly border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia.
A spokesperson for the SIA Group said its top priority is the safety of customers and its employees.
'We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will adjust our flights where necessary,' the spokesperson added.
A long-simmering border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia escalated to deadly violence on July 24 as their military forces clashed at multiple spots, leaving at least 12 people dead.
The flare-up is part of a broader disagreement with origins stretching back more than a century and involves parts of a region known as the Emerald Triangle, where the boundaries of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos meet.
The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia will attend mediation talks over their deadly border conflict in Malaysia on July 28 at 3pm local time at the Malaysian Prime Minister's Office in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim
invited representatives from both countries. Malaysia, which chairs the regional grouping Asean, has informed the Thai government that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet would also be attending the talks, the statement said.
According to The Nation, flights between Thailand and Cambodia are continuing as normal, as Cambodia's declared restricted area is limited and does not significantly impact air traffic departing from Thailand. Alternative flight paths are also readily available.

Find out what's new on ST website and app. U.S. President Donald Trump looks on as he meets with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer (not pictured) at Trump Turnberry golf club on July 28, 2025 in Turnberry, Scotland, Britain. Christopher Furlong/Pool via REUTERS TURNBERRY, Scotland - U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Monday that he would order fresh U.S. attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities should Tehran try to restart facilities that the United States bombed last month. Trump issued the threat as he held talks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his Turnberry golf resort on the western coast of Scotland. Iran, which denies seeking to develop a nuclear weapon, has insisted it will not give up domestic uranium enrichment despite the bombings of three nuclear sites. Trump told reporters that Iran has been sending out "nasty signals" and any effort to restart its nuclear program will be immediately quashed. "We wiped out their nuclear possibilities. They can start again. If they do, we'll wipe it out faster than you can wave your finger at it," Trump said. REUTERS

Trump says he is reducing 50-day deadline for Russia on war in Ukraine
Find out what's new on ST website and app. US President Donald Trump said that he will reduce the 50-day deadline he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine. TURNBERRY, Scotland - US President Donald Trump said on July 28 he was reducing the 50-day deadline he gave Russia over its war in Ukraine, underscoring his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin for prolonging fighting between the two countries. 'I'm disappointed in President Putin,' Mr Trump said, speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer ahead of their meeting in Scotland. 'I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer what's going to happen.' He did not give a new deadline. Mr Trump set the 50-day deadline earlier in July. The US president has repeatedly voiced exasperation with Mr Putin for continuing attacks on Ukraine despite US efforts to end the war. Before returning to the White House in January, Mr Trump, who views himself as a peacemaker, had promised to end the 3½-year-old conflict within 24 hours. Mr Trump has threatened new sanctions on Russia and buyers of its exports unless an agreement is reached by early September. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
