In the meantime, airlines and other organizations are actively working to finalize their arrangements for the resumption of passenger services from the airport.

Airport infrastructure and future plans

The first phase of the airport is being built on 1,334 hectares. It includes a 3,900-meter-long runway, a modern terminal building, an air traffic control tower, and a 30-acre cargo center. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated it on March 28.

Officials believe that this airport will develop as a major aviation hub of the country in the coming time and it will also open new opportunities for business, tourism and employment.

When did construction begin?

The foundation stone of Noida International Airport was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 25 November 2021. Since then, work has been progressing on a war footing and is now ready for commercial operations in 2026.

What is the capacity and what are the future plans?

Initial Capacity: In the first phase, the airport will be able to handle 12 million passengers annually.

Eventual Capacity: Upon completion of all its phases by 2040-50, it will have the capacity to serve 7 crore passengers annually.

Runway: Currently one runway is ready, but in future there are plans to build a total of 6 runways, which will make it the first such airport in India.

With the opening of Noida International Airport, not only will the people of Delhi-NCR get relief from the traffic of IGI Airport, but business and tourism in Western Uttar Pradesh will also reach new heights.
