The Noida International Airport at Jewar in Uttar Pradesh will be inaugurated soon after it receives its aerodrome licence, Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu informed the Rajya Sabha.
Responding to a query in the Upper House, the minister said that once the aerodrome licence is issued, flight operations typically begin within 45 days to two months. The airport is currently in the final stages of completion and is awaiting the necessary regulatory approvals before operations can commence.
Located in Gautam Buddh Nagar district, the greenfield airport is expected to significantly enhance aviation capacity in the National Capital Region. The facility is being developed to support both passenger and cargo operations and will play an important role in easing congestion at the existing Delhi airport.
Once operational, the Jewar airport is expected to strengthen regional connectivity and support economic growth in western Uttar Pradesh and surrounding regions.
