Passengers can arrive in Dien Bien with only over 30 minutes flying, instead of spending around 12 hours on a road trip.

The new route will be launching from March 1 with a frequency of three return flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The flights depart from Hanoi at 09:30 and arrive in Dien Bien at 10:25 (GMT+7). The return flights depart from Dien Bien at 11:00 and land in Hanoi at 11:50 (GMT+7).

Together with the HCM City-Dien Bien route, Vietjet’s Hanoi-Dien Bien route is expected to bring more tourists from all regions to Dien Bien - a place famous for its natural landscapes and historic sites.
