This section separates stable airport identifiers from live operating data. Codes, coordinates, timezone, elevation, source identifiers, and accepted reference links are retained here; live arrivals, departures, gates, delays, NOTAMs, and airline schedule changes must still be checked with the airport or carrier.

Country airport peers
PNH is compared with KTI Phnom Penh (Boeng Khyang) at 22 km inside the retained Cambodia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

Runway identifiers
05/23
OurAirports classifies PNH as a large airport; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Phnom Penh (Pou Senchey).
PNH (VDPP) is a near sea-level field at 40 ft (12 m) in the tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
PNH sits in a broader regional network with 4 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
PNH's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,843 ft / 3,000 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
A specific operator or management record for PNH is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at cambodia-airports.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for PNH
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
PNH uses Asia/Phnom_Penh (ICT, UTC+07:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Phnom Penh International Airport is about 8.0 km from central Phnom Penh (Pou Senchey); build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
KTI Phnom Penh (Boeng Khyang) is the closest retained alternate at 22 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
cambodia-airports.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place PNH inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
PNH ranks #2 in the curated Cambodia airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 2 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
PNH shares Asia/Phnom_Penh with KTI Phnom Penh (Boeng Khyang) KH. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Phnom Penh (Pou Senchey) is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Phnom Penh is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Phnom Penh International Airport has 4 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from PNH, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
