This also marks the beginning of our growth journey in 2024, as we gear up to expand to other countries soon.”
ADE Cambodia’s operations will be headquartered at Phnom Penh International Airport, Cambodia’s busiest airport and primary international gateway. This strategic location positions ADE Cambodia to efficiently serve the aviation needs of the region, leveraging the airport’s vital role in connecting Cambodia with the world.
Tony Fernandes, CEO, Capital A, said “We are incredibly proud of Asia Digital Engineering’s accomplishments, which continue to grow from strength to strength. With over 20 years of proven expertise from working with AirAsia, their goal to become the leading MRO provider in ASEAN and beyond, known for high quality, best value, and innovative solutions is firmly on track. This milestone comes just weeks after the momentous launch of AirAsia Cambodia and its inaugural flight, underscoring Capital A’s steadfast commitment to expanding our footprint for all our associated lines of business leveraging the success of our fast-growing aviation Group.”

In December 2023, ADE completed its 100th C-Check within 2.5 years, setting a record timeframe since inception. Looking ahead, ADE is focused on its vision to continually deliver exceptional services, expand capabilities, and remain at the forefront of the MRO industry.
