Foster + Partners unveils renderings for new airport city in Phnom Penh

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Allot of people transit, not like everyone who land do so to enter the country.

Would assume that is what they want to become a viable alternative and attract airlines to use the new airport as a transit hub.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Haha, i know but you can transit even in Cambodia as there are different airlines and destinations to/from here. Of course not every single person who land in Cambodia stay here which was my point.

Maybe "transit hub" was a bit excessive but if numbers of travelers increase it will open up for more flights and more flights equal more transits as well. Consumers care more about price for the ticket then what airport they transit in as they wont enter the country anyway.

Transit passengers are normally travelling in and out on the same airline (or at least one that codeshares). That airline will be based at the hub. None of the Cambodian airlines are remotely close to offering anything like that.

And how many international airports does Cambodia need? If it all goes to plan, Cambodia will have four international airports for a country of almost 17 million.

City/Island planning and investments like this are not made for today but for the future, if you look 5-20 years into the future, how will Koh Rong and the country as a whole look by then? Also the local population is not the majority of the travelers going through these airports so there is no correlation between number of airports and local population.

The Koh Rong Airport will make the island a viable weekend destination, which its not today. The big question is how it will grow and become a attractive alternative compared to the surrounding competition.
