Tips for 35 min Connections
Since the airport is new and still ramping up traffic, terminal signage and passenger flows can be less refined than at established hubs, so allow extra buffer time.
Long pier walks are a feature of the design, so use the moving walkways rather than assuming a quick gate-to-gate transfer.
International-to-international transfers often require a re-clearance through immigration and security near the concourse junction, so budget for this step.
Cambodia Angkor Air is the main carrier building connections here, and its schedule banking is still developing, so check with your airline about official minimum connection times.
Given the airport's distance from Phnom Penh city (about 20km), do not plan to leave the terminal during a short connection.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
All operations run through a single integrated terminal building, so connecting passengers walk (aided by moving walkways in the long piers) rather than take a train or shuttle. International arrivals passing to another international or domestic flight typically clear a security/immigration recheck point where the piers merge near the central concourse.
