Arrivals and departures at Sihanoukville Airport

Boats on Koh Rong

You can check the latest arrivals and departures at Sihanoukville Airport (KOS) on the airport’s official website. All scheduled and current flights are displayed here, including any delays or cancellations.

Sihanoukville Airport is relatively small and very easy to navigate.

All flights are handled by a single terminal, so there’s no need to transfer between different buildings as you might at large Asian airports.

How long before departure should you arrive at the airport?

Unlike the major airports in Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, check-in at Sihanoukville is usually quick.

I would recommend arriving:

  • 90 to 120 minutes before an international flight
  • 75 to 90 minutes before a domestic flight

Most passengers get through check-in and security within a few minutes, but queues may be longer during the peak tourist season.

How long does it take to leave the airport after arrival?

Upon arrival on an international flight, the following usually takes place:

  1. passport control
  2. baggage reclaim
  3. customs

As the airport handles only a limited number of flights a day, the whole process tends to be fairly quick.

In most cases, you can expect it to take between 30 and 45 minutes from landing until you leave the terminal.

Where to stay overnight if you have an early flight?

The terminal isn’t really suitable for spending the night. If you have an early morning flight, a more comfortable option is usually a hotel in the centre of Sihanoukville or one of the resorts near the airport.
