“Chinese tourists travelled on the first flight following the opening of Techo International Airport. I believe the opening of the new airport and the China–Cambodia Tourism Year will bring another sharp increase in Chinese visitors to Cambodia,” Chinese Ambassador Wang Wenbin stated on his official Facebook page on September 9. That day, the nearly US$2 billion, international-standard 4F Techo International Airport began operations.
The report ranks Cambodia’s enormous new airport ninth among the world’s most modern and largest airports. Its site covers more than 2,600 hectares in Kandal Stueng district, Kandal province, and part of Takeo province.
Techo International Airport also planned a formal inauguration on October 20, 2025, presided over by Prime Minister Hun Manet. It can accommodate all aircraft types, including large aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747. In the first phase, the airport has annual capacity for up to 13 million passengers and 26,000 tonnes of cargo.
