On September 9, 2025, Cambodia officially opened Techo International Airport (KTI), a brand-new hub that now replaces Phnom Penh International Airport. Located about 20 km south of the capital, this state-of-the-art airport promises a smoother, more comfortable experience for international visitors.
✈ Why It’s Exciting for Tourists
- Bigger & More Modern
- Designed by Foster + Partners, the airport blends modern architecture with Cambodian cultural touches.
- Spacious halls, natural light, and plenty of greenery make arrivals and departures more relaxing.
- Easier Connections
- Built to handle the world’s largest aircraft, KTI can now host more international flights.
- Expect more direct routes in the future, reducing the need for multiple layovers.
- Smoother Arrival Process
- More immigration counters, better luggage handling, and upgraded technology mean less waiting in long lines.
- Facilities include duty-free shops, local and international dining, and traveler lounges.
- Travel Tip – Getting There
- The airport is farther from Phnom Penh’s city center (about 45–60 minutes by car, depending on traffic).
- Taxis, shuttles, and ride-hailing apps will be the main ways to reach the city until future public transport options develop.
🌍 What This Means for Your Trip
- Phnom Penh is now easier to include in a multi-country Indochina trip (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand).
- With new capacity, expect more affordable flights and better connections over the coming years.
- Combined with the new Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport, Cambodia is opening its doors wider than ever before.
🧳 Quick Checklist for Travelers
- Double-check your flight details: some tickets may still list “PNH” for Phnom Penh, but all flights now use KTI.
- Leave extra time for travel between the airport and city (especially during peak hours).
- Enjoy the airport itself — it’s designed to showcase Cambodia’s culture and hospitality from the moment you land.
Techo International Airport is more than just a terminal — it’s Cambodia’s new gateway to the world, making travel easier, smoother, and more welcoming for tourists.
