Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday visited the Noida International Airport site in Jewar to review preparations and inspect ongoing construction work. He examined the progress of the domestic terminal, the inauguration venue, security arrangements, traffic management, and other related developments.

The Chief Minister later chaired a high-level review meeting with senior officials, directing them to ensure all tasks are completed within the stipulated timeframe and to maintain the highest quality standards. He also warned against any form of laxity in the airport’s inauguration preparations.

Yogi Adityanath said the Noida International Airport would serve as a symbol of Uttar Pradesh’s development, emphasising that quality, timeliness, and coordination must remain top priorities in all construction activities.

He also stressed the importance of beautification, cleanliness, and enhanced passenger amenities across the airport complex and surrounding areas. The Chief Minister called for a coordinated plan for security and traffic management, along with the timely completion of connecting roads and metro projects.

At the time of inauguration, the airport will begin operations with one runway, capable of handling 12 million passengers annually and an average of 150 flights per day. Once passenger traffic exceeds 10 million, construction on the second runway will begin, allowing both runways to serve up to 70 million passengers annually.

At full capacity, Jewar Airport will have five runways spread over 11,750 acres and will be able to handle up to 300 million passengers per year, making it one of the largest airports in the world, according to a statement by the Uttar Pradesh government.
