Future Plans
Cambodia Airport increased its capital expenditure program to approximately USD250 million for the next five years, while undertaking terminal expansion projects at Phnom Penh International Airport, Siem Reap Airport and Sihanoukville Airport, to ensure the facilities have sufficient capacity until at least the Southeast Asian Games which will take place in Cambodia in 2023.
Meanwhile the Overseas Cambodia Investment Corporation (OCIC) and the Secretariat of State for Civil Aviation of Cambodia (SSCA) jointly established a joint venture named Cambodia Airport Construction Company (CAIC) since 2018 to build the new Phnom Penh Airport. Located in Takhmao City, Kandal province and in part of Takeo province, 20 km away from Phnom Penh on a total area of 2600 hectares, the construction project is developed in 3 phases: 1st phase to receive 13 million passengers (PAX) per year by 2023, 2nd Phase for 30 million PAX per year by 2030 and 3rd phase for 50 million PAX per year by 2050. The airport is set to start operations in 2023.
In case of emergency, only two international airports full equipped will be considered as alternative to response are Phnom Penh International Airport and Siem Reap International Airport.
