Phnom Penh airport train's inaugural passenger service debuts on 10 April 2018, according to The Phnom Penh Post. Operating 24-hours and catering to flight arrivals, the airport train ride is operated by Royal Railway, a private subsidiary of Royal Group owned by Cambodian tycoon Kith Meng.

The waiting time for each airport train ride is between 20 to 30 minutes and it takes 45 minutes to reach Phnom Penh central railway station from Phnom Penh airport and vice versa. In contrast, it takes about an hour to reach the central railway station in the commercial business district by tuk-tuk.



Travel from Phnom Penh airport to the central railway station by Royal Railway is free-of-charge until 31 July 2018. Fares will be announced in due course by Royal Railway.

Royal Railway says it plans to receive three new trains from Mexico in June 2018. These trains have 2,400-horsepower engines at cruising speed of 80 kilometres per hour. The new trains are set to have WiFi, TVs and a video intercom system, according to a press release.
