[[Phnom Penh International Airport]] is the largest and busiest airport in Cambodia. It is seven kilometres west of central Phnom Penh. The airport is connected to the city center by [[taxi]], [[train]], and shuttle [[bus]]. The airport is set to be replaced with the new [[Techo International Airport]] in 2025. 

Cambodia's national [[flag carrier]], [[Air Cambodia|Cambodia Angkor Air]] (later rebranched as Air Cambodia in 2025), launched in 2009, is headquartered in Phnom Penh and has its main hub there, with an additional hub at the [[Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport]].<ref name="caa">{{cite web|url=http://www.cambodiaangkorair.com/default.aspx?tabid=98|title=Welcome|year=2009|publisher=Cambodia Angkor Air|access-date=December 28, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091217141508/http://www.cambodiaangkorair.com/default.aspx?tabid=98|archive-date=December 17, 2009}}</ref>

[[Air France]] used to serve Phnom Penh from [[Charles de Gaulle Airport|Paris-Charles de Gaulle]] but this service has since stopped. [[Qatar Airways]] now flies to and from Phnom Penh, via [[Ho Chi Minh City|Saigon]].

Taxis, pick-ups, and minibuses leave the city for destinations all over the country, but are fast losing ground to cheaper and more comfortable buses. Phnom Penh also has a rail service.

There are numerous bus companies, including [[Phnom Penh Public Transport]] and [[GST Express]], running services to most provincial capitals, including Sihanoukville, [[Kampong Chhnang (town)|Kampong Chhnang]], [[Oudong]] and [[Takéo]]. [[Phnom Penh Sorya Transport]] Co. offers bus service to several provincial destinations along the National Routes and to [[Ho Chi Minh City|Saigon]]. Giant Ibis is another bus company based in Phnom Penh, which travels to Sihanoukville, Kampot, Siem Reap and [[Ho Chi Minh City|Saigon]], and has free [[Wi-Fi]], air conditioning and modest pricing.

The city is Cambodia's main freshwater port, a major port on the [[Mekong River]]. It is linked to the [[South China Sea]], 290 kilometres distant, via a channel of the Mekong in [[Vietnam]].
