Not if they persist with PNH…😉
SYD

Thread 'Relocation Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) to Techo International Airport (KTI)'

Apparently the existing PNH airport will cease ops on 08 Sep and from 09 Sep, ops move to the new Techo airport (KTI).

Surprised they’re switching codes. Didn’t HKG and BKK just take there code with them (and others?). From what I can tell, KTI (Kratie) is already in use…

Anyway, we’re booked to fly CX PNH to HKG (and then onto SYD) as a QF CR and received notification from QF of the change (they showed it as a cancelled flight and then a new flight - same CX flight code and times)...
  • Sad

But maybe a few new airlines will try to fly to KTI?

I wanted to try their HKG-SGN service but the prices are unreasonable.

Not surprised. Flight is designed to connect to/from their LAX and SFO flights so they're going to want high prices for local traffic. That said, over time expect them to discount heavily for short duration tickets or seasonal fluctuations. Margins cost is low, so they'll be happy to flog off empty seats at short notice.
