The closure will start in late March for the VND1.46 trillion (USD62.21 million) project to expand the runway, taxiway, parking lot and passenger terminal.
Dien Bien Airport
Work on the project is scheduled to be completed by December this year.
The investor Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV) is speeding up site clearance for the project to ensure work can start as scheduled.
Once finished, the expanded Dien Bien Airport would be able to receive A320-size aeroplanes instead of the current ATR72s.
The passenger terminal will be upgraded to serve 500,000 passengers annually compared to the current capacity of 300,000.
Site clearance has been underway since 2019.
