Further expansion of the terminal, adding a runway, cargo buildings, hangers and the installation of a Cat III level instrument landing system and approach lighting will follow, he said.
The extension will give the airport a capacity to handle 5 million passengers per year. The airport’s design capacity was 2 million passengers per year.

“Passengers travelling to Cambodia have increased by about 6% to 7% per year and this new terminal extension will help to reduce congestion,” he said.

I have always found this airport remarkably fast and efficient given the size.

The new airport is good, but still too small.

Size is not that important if you have efficiency . I too have found PP airport pretty good compared with other airports I have been through. Even waiting for baggage to be offloaded from the plane and picked up off the carrousel was super fast last time I arrived.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

i want it to be more fancy and bigger, i remembered when i landed at KLIA2, i walked such a long way to get my baggage, but i don't complain it. At least it is more like an international airport now.Duncan wrote:frank lee bent wrote:I have always found this airport remarkably fast and efficient given the size.

I note Starbucks has established itself there already.
KLIA in a word, sucks, as our American friends so aptly say.

Re: Phnom Penh International Airport to be officially opened Wednesday 16th March
OMG the newpaper said the airport upgraded to CAT III approach, means that before that it was only CAT II approach, it is a miracle that there isnt any accident during thunderstorms, how can an international airport not have CAT III approach?
Money is not the problem, the problem is no money
