Private Airport Transfers in Phnom Penh
Techo International Airport (KTI) opened on 9 September 2025, south of Phnom Penh in Kandal province, and replaced the old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) for all commercial flights. The drive to the centre is about 24 km and takes 45–60 minutes; the main tourist and guesthouse areas, Riverside, BKK1, and Daun Penh, are a little further. Phnom Penh's traffic is congested during morning and evening rush hours and can be unpredictable after heavy rain (which causes localised flooding). Grab operates in Phnom Penh, and an Airport Express Bus runs daily from 05:30 to 23:30. Book via LocalsRide and the fare is confirmed before your flight, with an air-conditioned vehicle and a driver waiting for you when you land.
