This flight route has significantly contributed to the success of major events, including the 70th anniversary of the Điện Biên Phủ Victory and the National Tourism Year - Điện Biên 2024. Maintaining this route plays a key role in boosting tourism growth, attracting strategic investments from the country’s leading corporations such as Vingroup and Sun Group.

Additionally, the leadership of Điện Biên has pledged to support VietJet Air in marketing, promotion, and aviation service development, ensuring a solid foundation for sustaining and expanding flights in the future. The province will also continue investing in tourism infrastructure and service quality improvements to drive sustainable development and create new opportunities for both businesses and the local community.

Mr. Lê Thành Đô welcomes passengers from VietJet Air Flight VJ298 on the inaugural Hồ Chí Minh City - Điện Biên route (December 2023).

The continued operation of the Điện Biên - Hồ Chí Minh City flight route by VietJet Air is expected to be a key driver in helping Điện Biên achieve its goal of becoming a tourism hub in the Northwestern region in the coming years.
