PREPARING FOR RECORD TRAFFIC
New 2.4 million passenger record in 2013: year after year, Phnom Penh International Airport, connected to all the major Asian cities, has recorded strong traffic growth in keeping with the growth of the Kingdom of Cambodia’s economy. To enable the airport to continue to support the momentum of the country and its capital, which is also its economic hub, Cambodia Airports has undertaken an extensive investment program with the agreement of the Cambodian

government. The goal is to double the airport’s capacity between now and 2016 to enable it to welcome up to 5 million passengers per year. Work was awarded to a joint venture led by VINCI Construction Grands Projets. The program involves renovation of the passenger terminal and its extension to 31,000 sq. meters. It also provides an improved passenger experience based on state-of-the-art facilities for travelers. Meanwhile, the airport is continuing its devel-
opment policy with the creation of new routes, such as the first Phnom Penh–Tokyo route, which was introduced in September 2014. In another demonstration of the airport’s momentum—and of Cambodia Airports’ determination to constantly improve passenger satisfaction and VINCI Airports’ ability to attract major international brands—Burger King selected the Phnom Penh airport as the location of its first franchise in Cambodia.
