Phnom Penh Techo International Airport (VDTI) was officially inaugurated this week by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, a month after the upgraded site commenced operations.&nbsp;The opening of the country’s newest airport, which is operated by France’s Vinci Airports, “represents a milestone in Cambodia’s private sector development,” the airport said.
Developed by Cambodia Airport Investment Company (CAIC), a joint venture between the Overseas Cambodian Investment Corp. (OCIC) and the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA), VDTI is about&nbsp;&nbsp;20 km south of Phnom Penh and replaces the nearly 70-year-old Phnom Pen International Airport. Construction of the 2,600-hectare site began in 2018, and a phased expansion plan will see an initial operating capacity of 13 million passengers a year expanded to 50 million by 2050. 
Techo International Airport is currently served by 31 airlines across over 50 routes, and Singapore Airlines subsidiary SIA Engineering has established an on-site maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility there. The airport also offers VIP and general aviation terminals, with ground handling for private aircraft provided by eight vendors, along with CIQ services.

New developments at airports including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
