Confirm the actual arrival point

Techo International Airport (KTI) began operations on 9 September 2025, according to the airport operator. Check the airport code on your ticket and use that exact name when arranging a transfer. Historic descriptions of Phnom Penh’s former airport can give an outdated impression of the arrival journey. If arriving by bus or another service, confirm the specific station or drop-off rather than assuming every operator uses one city terminal.

Arrange the handover

For a booked transfer, confirm name, meeting point, contact and waiting policy. For accommodation, verify reception arrangements for your arrival time. Keep the address in a form a local driver can use.

Reduce avoidable uncertainty

Save the booking offline and keep a way to contact the provider. Before accepting an alternative ride, agree on destination and full price. We do not display live fares or endorse an unverified driver.
