Specifically, the flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Dien Bien is scheduled to take off at 09:35 and land at 11:55. From Dien Bien, passengers can conveniently transfer to Hanoi with a flight taking off at 12:30 and landing at 13:25, before continuing their journey.

The flexible combination of daily flights from Dien Bien to Hanoi and the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City route network with a frequency of up to 30-32 flights per day, creates conditions for passengers from the Southern region to easily access and experience Dien Bien tourism . From here, visitors can connect to prominent destinations in the Northwest region in particular and the North in general, forming a closed, multi-experience travel itinerary.

Ho Chi Minh City - Dien Bien route is operated by Airbus A321 aircraft with a frequency of 2 flights on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The new route contributes to strengthening the connection between Dien Bien and major economic and tourist centers, thereby promoting trade, expanding the flow of visitors and creating more development momentum for the locality. Dien Bien provincial leaders said that the need for direct connection with Ho Chi Minh City is increasing rapidly in the context of the locality promoting development according to the "Green, Smart, Sustainable" model and identifying tourism as a key economic sector.

The upgrading of Dien Bien airport and the improvement of tourism products will help the locality have more favorable conditions to attract visitors, especially groups of tourists interested in experiencing the culture, history and nature typical of the Northwest region.

Mr. Nguyen The Bao, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines, said: “The operation of the Ho Chi Minh City - Dien Bien route demonstrates Vietnam Airlines' commitment to enhancing regional connectivity and supporting economic and social development in localities. This is a consistent direction in the airline's flight network development strategy, along with the requirement to ensure operational efficiency and capacity. We expect the new route to open up stronger development opportunities for Dien Bien, especially in attracting high-quality passengers and promoting trade, investment and tourism activities.”

As the national airline, Vietnam Airlines is always responsible for maintaining flight routes to serve social security and ensure smooth connections between regions, even in markets with limited exploitation efficiency. Maintaining and promoting the market in areas such as Dien Bien requires great efforts in terms of resources, costs and operational capacity. This is a task associated with the airline's mission of contributing to local economic and social development and supporting the stability of national security and defense in the Northwest region.

The launch of the Ho Chi Minh City - Dien Bien - Hanoi route helps complete Vietnam Airlines' domestic flight network, strengthens connectivity between regions and contributes to promoting the image of Dien Bien as a destination rich in identity on the Vietnamese tourism map.
