Phnom Penh: The United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) on June 4, 2026 approved $100 million for the Techo International Airport project to support the expansion of the Kingdom of Cambodia’s aviation infrastructure.
According to a press release from OCIC, the main developer of Techo International Airport (KTI), the above agreement was reached after a careful assessment, including the feasibility of the project on the basis of its technical characteristics, operations, and environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA). In accordance with past legislation, a series of procedures will need to be completed, including the Senate notification process, before the financing can be secured and completed.

Through business delegations, conferences, and dialogues, the companies have been working together to support the development and connectivity of Cambodia’s infrastructure.
Oknha Bandit Pung Khev Se, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Canadia Group and OCIC, welcomed the U.S. Development Finance Corporation (DFC) as a partner in the Techo International Airport project.
