The Yamuna International Airport, a special purpose body formed by the Swiss company Zurich International AG, which is overseeing the construction, informed officials about the “progress” during the 16th board meeting held in Lucknow.

“The board discussed and approved the financial balance sheet for 2021-22, the appointment of a company secretary, and the progress report. These were the three key agendas that were presented and discussed,” said Arun Vir Singh, chief executive officer of Nial and the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida).

The board meeting, chaired by Uttar Pradesh chief secretary DS Mishra, focuses on discussing and approving important agendas related to the airport’s development.
