Noida Airport Nears Completion, Flights May Begin in June

Work on the Noida International Airport in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, is progressing swiftly, with authorities aiming to complete the first phase by the end of May and commence flight operations in the first week of June.

On Tuesday, Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate (DM) Manish Kumar Verma conducted an inspection of the construction site, focusing on the ongoing development of an 8-km-long, 30-metre-wide emergency road being built by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The DM reviewed the progress and instructed NHAI officials to accelerate the pace of work to meet the timeline.

The inspection is part of a broader evaluation being carried out jointly by Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) and Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), the project’s developer. YIAPL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Airport International AG, holds a 40-year concession to develop and operate the airport, starting from October 1, 2021.

Originally scheduled to be operational by September 29, 2024, the airport’s launch date was later advanced to April 17 this year. With that deadline now revised again, officials are confident that flights will begin as early as June.

The Noida International Airport is a flagship infrastructure project for the Uttar Pradesh government and is expected to significantly boost connectivity and economic development in the region.
