Techo International Airport

What Techo International Airport does

Techo International Airport (TIA) is a newly opened greenfield international airport in Kandal Province, Cambodia, located approximately 20 kilometres south of Phnom Penh. Built and owned by Cambodia Airport Investment Co. (CAIC), a joint venture between Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC) and the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA), the airport sits on a 2,600-hectare site and began commercial operations on 9 September 2025, replacing the older Pochentong facility as Cambodia's principal international gateway.

The airport is designed for a Phase 1 capacity of 15 million passengers per year, with a master plan scaling to 30 million passengers by 2050, and is certified at 4F-class — the highest ICAO aerodrome category, permitting unrestricted wide-body long-haul operations. Operations, maintenance and commercial management were transferred to VINCI Airports effective 10 July 2025, importing the operating playbook of one of the world's largest airport operators. Phase I development absorbed roughly USD 1.5 billion (with some sources approaching USD 2 billion), financed via approximately USD 1.1 billion in foreign loans alongside CAIC and OCIC equity contributions.

The business model is that of a private, for-profit airport concession: aeronautical revenue (landing, parking and passenger service charges from airline tenants) and non-aeronautical revenue (retail, food and beverage, parking, advertising and property) generated through the terminal infrastructure, with the airport serving international carriers, the flag carrier Air Cambodia (which is seeding domestic ATR72-600 services from the hub), and outbound and inbound passenger traffic across the Phnom Penh catchment.
