Diên Biên Phu airport, Vietnam - Airports on Waymarking.com

Ðiên Biên Phu Airport was established in 1954 as Mung Thanh Airfield. The main purpose of it was to serve the French HQ in Ðiên Biên Phu at the time of the First Indochina War.

4 years after the French left Ðiên Biên Phu, in 1958, commercial flights to the airport started, operated by the Air Force, but only for a while due to the low demand at the time. In 1984, along with the 30th Anniversary of the Battle of Diên Biên Phu, flights from Hanoi to Ðiên Biên Phu resumed, operated by the Antonov An-24. In 2004, the airport's apron is extended to 12000 square meters, with 4 parking stands for ATR 72 aircraft.

It is located in the middle of a basin at an altitude of 1.611 meters above sea level. The sole runway (16/34) has a concrete surface and a length 1830 meters (6003 ft) long and width of 30 m (98.4 ft).

In 2022, there are 3 flights a Day, one to (and from) Ho Chi Minh City and 2 to (and from) Hanoi.
