Siem Reap Airport (SAI), officially Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, is the airport for Siem Reap province in north-west Cambodia and the main air gateway to the temples of Angkor. It lies about 50 km east of Siem Reap city centre and about 40 km from Angkor Wat. SAI replaced the old Siem Reap International Airport (REP) as the city's airport, so every passenger flight now uses SAI. There is one passenger terminal, with separate departure halls for international and domestic flights. Its design follows traditional Cambodian architecture, with terracotta roofs, deep eaves and a glass spire that echoes the Angkorian temples.

The airport was built and is owned by Angkor International Airport Investment (Cambodia) under a build-operate-transfer agreement with the Royal Government of Cambodia, and Yunnan Airinvestment (Cambodia) Airport Management runs day-to-day operations.

Parking and drop-off

Two public car parks serve the terminal, one in front of the building and one in front of the domestic departures area, and a VIP car park is on the east side. Drivers dropping off for international flights use the elevated road to the third floor.
