Officials said authorities at the Agra airport have also been asked to maintain a state of preparedness for the summit.
The Hindon airport, which has seen no flights since January, has been put on standby to welcome guests for the prestigious G20 summit if the main Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi runs out of space.
Immigration and customs counters are also being set up at the Hindon civil terminal in Ghaziabad, which was inaugurated in 2019 for the operation of flights to eight routes under the 'Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik' (UDAN) scheme.
While the summit is slated to be held on September 9 and 10, residents living around the airport have been given a few instructions to be followed from September 8-10. Sources said residents have been asked to keep windows opening out towards the airport shut on those days and not use the terraces of buildings. Other safety measures have also been put in place.
