About Phnom Penh International Airport
Overview
Phnom Penh International Airport serves as Cambodia's primary international gateway, located in the Pou Senchey district of Phnom Penh. The airport operates at a low elevation of 40 feet mean sea level and supports large aircraft operations. Its single runway (05/23) provides a substantial 9,843-foot asphalt surface for diverse aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Southeast Asian tropical climate significantly influences airport meteorological conditions, with pronounced wet and dry seasons affecting visibility and wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and humidity-related atmospheric variations. The low elevation and proximity to the Mekong River delta region contribute to generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic position at 11.546600, 104.844002 places it in a relatively flat terrain environment, minimizing complex terrain-related approach challenges. Its substantial runway length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types, from regional turboprops to wide-body international carriers. The airport's infrastructure supports comprehensive international and domestic aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 provides a straight-in approach with favorable length for most aircraft categories. Wind patterns will typically determine preferred runway direction, with pilots advised to monitor local meteorological briefings for precise wind vector information. The low elevation and extended runway facilitate predictable approach and landing characteristics.
