The much-anticipated Noida International Airport is expected to be inaugurated later this month, with Mr. Yogi Adityanath confirming that an invitation has been sent to Mr. Narendra Modi for a formal launch on March 28.

Speaking at an event in Lucknow, the Chief Minister highlighted the rapid expansion of aviation infrastructure in the state. Uttar Pradesh currently operates 16 domestic and four international airports, with Jewar set to become the fifth international gateway.

Once operational, the airport is poised to emerge as India’s largest aviation hub. In its first phase, it will feature a single runway and an integrated terminal designed to handle up to 12 million passengers annually. Authorities have already secured the aerodrome license, and long-term plans include expanding the airport to five runways.

Organic SocialAreas such as Greater Noida, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Bulandshahr are likely to benefit from increased economic activity, tourism, and job creation. Initially, around 150 flights are projected to operate daily.

Spread across approximately 1.38 lakh square metres, the terminal will be equipped with 48 check-in counters, nine security screening lanes, and nine immigration desks. Separate lounges will cater to domestic and international passengers. The airport will also feature 10 aerobridges, 28 aircraft parking stands, and a runway capable of handling nearly 30 aircraft movements per hour.

A modern cargo hub is also part of the project, starting with a capacity of 2.5 lakh tonnes annually, with plans to scale up to 1.5 million tonnes in the future. Passenger convenience will be enhanced through digital solutions such as biometric-based DigiYatra processing and self-service baggage drop facilities.

Sustainability remains a key focus, with provisions for solar energy generation, rainwater harvesting systems, and infrastructure to support electric vehicles.
