Vietnam Airlines Transitions to New Techo Airport (KTI) in Phnom Penh
Get ready for a new chapter in air travel to Cambodia's vibrant capital! Vietnam Airlines is excited to announce a significant operational shift to the brand-new Techo International Airport (KTI) in Phnom Penh, effective from 00:01 on September 9, 2025. This change, mandated by Cambodian civil aviation authorities, means all Vietnam Airlines flights inbound and outbound from Phnom Penh will now operate from KTI, replacing the previous airport code (PNH).
New Airport Location:
- The new Techo International Airport is conveniently situated south of Phnom Penh, approximately 20 kilometers from the city center, offering a travel time of about 40 minutes.
Important Distance Note:
- For your planning, please be aware that the new Techo International Airport (KTI) is located over 30 kilometers away from the old airport (PNH), which translates to roughly a 50-minute journey between the two locations.
To ensure a seamless travel experience, we kindly ask our valued passengers to:
- Verify Airport Details: Double-check that your ticket and all airline notifications clearly state the new airport code, KTI.
- Arrive Early: Please plan to arrive at the airport at least three hours before your international flight departure.
- Stay Updated: Keep an eye on the latest flight information through Vietnam Airlines' official channels, including our website, mobile app, Zalo, and our official fanpage.
For those who have already booked their journeys, rest assured that Vietnam Airlines flights (flight number 738 series) purchased before September 9, 2025, will have their airport codes automatically updated from PNH to KTI, with flight numbers remaining unchanged. Should you wish to modify your travel plans, the airline will gladly assist with ticket changes according to our regulations.
