Vinci just got the deal to operate the new airport, and extended the concession deal on Sihanoukville airport. Techo International Airport has nothing to do with Chinese.

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

There's a plan for a toll road (above of the 60m boulevard) and also aa plan for a train/tram. I'm fairly sure both will be completed before the new airport hits 10 million annual passenger mark. That's great, but the airport is supposed to open in a year. And it's a 35 km trip into town. To Pochen...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

Eventually the new airport should be capable of handling 50 million passengers per year which is about the number San Francisco processed in 2023. That's some allowance for future growth right there. But was it the reason the airport was moved to the new site that is outside the city? Back in the d...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

no idea whats the point with a new aport ... they cant get enough flights coming to this one so a tad waste of money... To be prepared for future growth perhaps as with all city planning where you plan decades ahead and not just for today? It takes time to build a airport from the proposal to a air...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

I already miss the previous iteration when it had 12 check in desks and a cute water feature by the entrance. I wonder if they'll do anything interesting with it. It could become a bus station, park and shopping mall with minimal renovation or will they fence it off for 10 years and eventually buil...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

So glad that is was not operating today . This morning I waited one and a half hours at the bus stop for a bus to Takhmau. Ended up catching a Tuk-tuk. The city bus operates at a very limited capacity (if at all) during big public holidays because the buses are used for people to go to the countrys...
