Phnom Penh International Airport

Phnom Penh International Airport is the principal airport of Cambodia and the busiest in the country, handling roughly 3.5 million passengers annually in pre-pandemic normal years. PNH is the principal commercial, political, and diplomatic gateway to Cambodia and one of the three main commercial airports in the country alongside Siem Reap (REP, now replaced by the new SAI) and Sihanoukville (KOS). The airport sits in Pou Senchey district 10 km (6 mi) west of central Phnom Penh and is operated under a long-term concession by Cambodia Airports, a joint venture of French infrastructure group Vinci Airports and Cambodian partners. PNH is a focus city for Cambodia Angkor Air (the flag carrier), Sky Angkor Airlines, and Cambodia Airways, with limited regional reach restricted by the small scale of these carriers and their limited widebody fleet. Dominant international service comes from Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, AirAsia (Malaysia, Thailand, and Philippines), Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Cathay Pacific, EVA, China Airlines, Korean Air, Asiana, Jin Air, China Eastern, China Southern, Xiamen Airlines, Lucky Air, and Sichuan Airlines, with Asian regional service to Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Kunming forming the core network. Qatar Airways provides the most prominent long-haul link via Doha. A single runway, 05/23, measures 9,843 ft (3,000 m) and accommodates widebody operations including 787, A330, and occasional 777. The modern terminal, substantially expanded in stages since the Vinci concession in 2009, has 12 jet bridges. A replacement greenfield airport, Techo International Airport (TIA), is under construction 30 km (19 mi) south of Phnom Penh in Kandal Province; once opened, commercial operations will transfer from PNH to TIA.
