Development Of Noida Airport On Schedule, Says Top Project Officer

The greenfield airport is coming up in the Jewar area of western Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddh Nagar district, around 75 km from Delhi, and will be the second international airport in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Notwithstanding the impact of COVID-19 and inflation, the development of the upcoming Noida International Airport (NIA) is on schedule and it will be delivered in time, by the end of 2024, and within the sanctioned budget, a top project officer said on Thursday.

The greenfield airport is coming up in the Jewar area of western Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddh Nagar district, around 75 km from Delhi, and will be the second international airport in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Switzerland-based Zurich Airport International AG (ZAIA) holds the concession contract to design, build and operate the airport for a period of 40 years.

The NIA is a public-private partnership project of the Uttar Pradesh government, with the Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), a fully-owned subsidiary of the ZAIA, being its implementing agency.
