Standing between the old and the modern, between the village and the world, a stretch of land on the outskirts of Phnom Penh has carried a whole share of Cambodian identity for nearly a century. Pochentong Airport was never a mere transit point: from its very conception, it was a political and symbolic project, driven by King Father Norodom Sihanouk's vision of an independent, modern Cambodia open to the world.

Phnom Penh Prepares for an Unprecedented Event to Celebrate Khmer New Year. The former international airport, an architectural gem from the 1950s, opens its doors to the public as a recreational park from April 11 to 19. A festive initiative blending history, relaxation, and celebratory spirit.

The former Pochentong Airport, closed since September 2025 in favor of the gigantic Techo International Airport, is set to transform into a vast urban green lung. Cambodian authorities have announced the winners of an international competition aimed at reinventing these 450 strategic hectares within a capital experiencing rapid demographic and real estate expansion.
