Construction of the expanded Dien Bien airport project is scheduled to begin in December 2021 and finish at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2023.
The total investment in the Dien Bien Airport is estimated at about VND4.8 trillion (US$206 million), said the Airport Corporation of Viet Nam (ACV) on Tuesday.
Vietjet’s proposal to expand Dien Bien Airport in the northern mountainous province of Dien Bien has received support from the Ministry of Transport (MoT).
Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has assigned the People’s Committee of the northern province of Dien Bien to oversee the investment and construction of Dien Bien Airport.
