KTI vs Bandara PNH Lama: Apa yang Berubah untuk Kedatangan Warga Australia di Tahun 2026?
KTI menggantikan PNH lama pada 9 September 2025 dan pertukarannya nyata: waktu transit lebih lama untuk terminal yang jauh lebih besar dan lebih tenang. Berikut perbandingan yang penting bagi warga Australia di tahun 2026, termasuk apa yang perlu dianggarkan dalam AUD dan bagaimana mengatur waktu perjalanan taksi Anda.
Bagaimana perbandingan bandara KTI yang baru dengan bandara PNH yang lama bagi warga Australia yang terbang ke Phnom Penh pada tahun 2026?
Bandara Internasional Techo (KTI) dibuka pada 9 September 2025 dan sepenuhnya menggantikan Bandara Internasional Phnom Penh (PNH/POC) lama pada hari yang sama. Perubahan praktis terbesar bagi kedatangan dari Australia adalah jarak: KTI terletak sekitar 30 km di selatan pusat kota dibandingkan PNH lama yang terletak sekitar 8 km di barat, sehingga transfer sekarang memakan waktu sekitar 45 menit dalam lalu lintas lancar, bukan sekitar 20 menit. Tarif taksi resmi di KTI adalah $25 25–30 USD (sekitar $38 AUD) ke pusat Phnom Penh, dengan Grab beberapa dolar lebih murah. Sebagai gantinya, Anda mendapatkan terminal yang jauh lebih besar dan modern dengan kapasitas gerbang internasional yang lebih banyak, Imigrasi yang lebih cepat, dan ruang kedatangan yang lebih tenang. Pesan transfer hotel terlebih dahulu jika Anda mendarat dalam keadaan lelah, dan tambahkan 30 menit waktu luang pada rencana keberangkatan yang biasa Anda gunakan di PNH lama.
Poin-Poin Penting
- The old Phnom Penh International (PNH/POC) shut on 9 September 2025 when Techo International (KTI) opened the same day. Every Aussie 2026 flight to Phnom Penh lands at KTI, even when the booking still says PNH.
- KTI sits ~30 km south of central Phnom Penh in Kandal province. The old PNH was ~8 km west. Expect roughly a 45-minute taxi from KTI in light traffic vs the ~20 minutes the old PNH ran.
- Official KTI taxi-rank fares into central Phnom Penh sit at $25–30 USD (~$38–46 AUD). Grab is usually a few dollars cheaper. Book a hotel transfer if you are landing late or jet-lagged.
- KTI is a single modern terminal with far more international gate capacity than the old PNH could ever offer. Immigration runs faster despite higher passenger volumes — average 10–20 minute queue for eVisa holders.
- Build an extra 30 minutes into your departure timing vs what you would have allowed for the old PNH. The new highway is well-sealed but afternoon traffic on the approach from the city stretches the run.
- Your Cambodia eVisa, the e-Arrival QR and your printed paperwork all work identically at KTI as they did at the old PNH. The visa stack has not changed — only the airport has.
Mengapa peralihan bandara penting di tahun 2026?
Some booking engines and older travel articles still print the PNH code because IATA backends lag reality by a year or two. The wider Cambodia airports overview covers all three international gateways (KTI, SAI, KOS) and the Australian application walkthrough is the cleanest pre-flight checklist for getting the eVisa right in the first place. For the canonical reference on cost, documents, and processing, see the official Cambodia eVisa for Australians hub.

What changed in plain English
The transfer: how to plan KTI to central Phnom Penh
Option 1 — Pre-booked hotel transfer
Option 2 — Official KTI taxi rank
Option 3 — Grab
If you have not sorted the eVisa or e-Arrival yet, the Australian application walkthrough covers the form field by field, and the e-Arrival 14-fields walkthrough handles the QR-code submission inside the seven-day pre-departure window.
Inside the terminal: what feels different at KTI
- Immigration hall — Wide, well-lit, bilingual signage. Eight to twelve counters open for foreigners during peak windows vs the old PNH which often ran four. Average queue for eVisa holders is 10–20 minutes (the old PNH regularly ran 20–40 at peak).
- Baggage claim — Long sweeping carousels and clearer belt numbering. Bags tend to land 15–25 minutes after touchdown for the long-haul Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways and Malaysia Airlines services. The hall is wide enough to walk a luggage trolley through without a crush.
- Customs — A simple green-channel walk-through unless you are flagged. Same rule as the old PNH: declare anything over $10,000 USD-equivalent and any restricted items.
- Arrivals hall amenities — SIM card kiosks (Smart, Cellcard, Metfone) on one side, several ATMs spread along the hall, currency-exchange counters (skip these), a couple of cafés, and a clearly signposted taxi rank.
- Departures — Generous check-in concourse, a larger airside duty-free run, and a handful of pay-per-use lounges including Plaza Premium for Aussies with Priority Pass.
Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
When did KTI replace the old PNH airport?
Techo International Airport (KTI) opened on 9 September 2025 and the old Phnom Penh International (PNH/POC) closed the same day. There was no transition window — every commercial flight to the Cambodian capital from that date forward has landed at KTI.
My booking still says PNH — am I landing at the old airport?
No. Some airlines and OTAs still display the PNH IATA code because global airline backends update slowly. Your flight is landing at KTI regardless of what the booking confirmation says. The old PNH site is closed.
How far is KTI from central Phnom Penh compared with the old PNH?
KTI is about 30 km south of the city centre in Kandal province. The old PNH sat about 8 km west of the CBD. The new transfer takes ~45 minutes in light traffic vs the ~20 minutes the old PNH ran. Plan an extra 30 minutes both ways.
How much should I budget in AUD for a taxi from KTI?
The official KTI taxi rank charges $25–30 USD (~$38–46 AUD) for the run into central Phnom Penh. Grab usually costs a few dollars less ($20–26 USD / ~$30–40 AUD) but the pickup point is a short walk further into the car park. Hotel pre-booked transfers run $25–35 USD (~$38–53 AUD) and are the cleanest option after a long-haul flight.
Is KTI faster through Immigration than the old PNH?
Yes. KTI averages a 10–20 minute Immigration queue for eVisa holders vs the 20–40 minutes the old PNH regularly ran at peak. The new hall has more open counters, wider lanes and bilingual signage. Bring two printed copies of the Cambodia eVisa PDF in your passport and the e-Arrival QR saved as a phone screenshot.
Has the Cambodia eVisa changed because of the new airport?
No. The Cambodia eVisa stack is identical regardless of which airport you fly into. Tourist eVisa all-in is $80 USD (~$122 AUD), Business eVisa is $90 USD (~$137 AUD), Approved in 3 business days, Delivered as a printable PDF by email. The e-Arrival Card is mandatory at all three international airports — KTI, SAI and KOS.
Does Cambodia have more long-haul gate capacity now at KTI?
Yes — that was the main reason for the airport switch. KTI was built with substantially expanded international gate capacity vs the old PNH, which was running close to its physical ceiling. Aussies see this in 2026 through more Singapore-Phnom Penh frequencies, more Bangkok code-share options and a thicker Kuala Lumpur connection.
