Techo International Airport, Phnom Penh (KTI)

Anyone flying into Phnom Penh from outside Cambodia.

In short

Phnom Penh changed airports too. Techo International Airport (KTI) opened to commercial flights on 9 September 2025, about 19 km south of the city, and took over the international traffic. The old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) now handles domestic flights, private jets and military use, so arriving international passengers land at Techo.

Two airport moves in two years means a lot of out-of-date advice is still circulating. If you booked a flight to Phnom Penh after September 2025, you are landing at Techo, not at the old airport near Russian Boulevard.

Techo is south of the city rather than north-west, so the drive in is a different route and a different length. We time the pickup around when you actually clear immigration rather than when the plane touches down, and the driver waits inside with your name.

If you are heading onward the same day – to Siem Reap, to Kampot, to the coast – tell us when you book and we will plan the day around the flight rather than the other way round.

Questions travellers ask

Which Phnom Penh airport will I land at?
If you are flying in from another country, Techo International Airport (KTI). It took over commercial and international operations on 9 September 2025. The old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) kept domestic flights, private jets and military use.
How far is Techo from the riverside?
About 19 km south of the city. Traffic decides the journey more than distance does, so we build in more time at rush hour than at midday.
Can you collect me and drive straight to Siem Reap?
Yes, and some people do. It is a long drive on top of a long flight, so we usually suggest a night in Phnom Penh first - but if you would rather push on, we will arrange it.
