There will be no changes to the flight numbers or scheduled timings for flights operating to and from Phnom Penh, SQ reported.

Techo International Airport is located approximately 23km south of Phnom Penh city centre. 

Since 9 September, all airlines serving the Cambodian capital have moved their flights to Techo International Airport (KTI). Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) will remain open as a military airport, with some domestic flights and private jet operations. 

Phnom Penh Airport, originally Pochentong International Airport, was established in the 1930s as a military airstrip, officially opened in 1965, but saw limited use during the 1970s and 80s. A 1995 concession to a VINCI Airports subsidiary led to significant renovations and expansions in the late 1990s and 2010s, eventually being renamed Phnom Penh International Airport in 2003.

An internet search shows a range of prices for private taxi transfers, with one-way fares to the city centre ranging from as low as USD10 to USD38, depending on the service provider, vehicle type, and drop-off point. Some transfers are listed at a flat rate of USD30. The travel time is between 40 minutes and one hour and 10 minutes, depending on traffic.
