What makes this airport stand out
The airport’s standout feature is its impressive ability to welcome around 12 million passengers each year. The facility covers more than 1,300 hectares.

This marks the second international airport for the Delhi-NCR region. It’s designed to ease the burden on Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI).

Convenient parking and ground transport

Noida International Airport boasts a comprehensive ground transportation center with a multi-modal transit hub. You’ll find metro and high-speed rail stations for seamless connections. Plus, there’s taxi service, bus options, and parking for personal vehicles.

Just 21 minutes from Delhi

Traveling between Delhi and Noida airports will only take 21 minutes. There’s also an exciting plan to link Jewar Airport with the upcoming Delhi-Varanasi high-speed rail corridor. Noida International Airport will be India’s first airport to achieve net zero emissions.

‘Uttar Pradesh is setting new dimensions’

CM Yogi further said, “Prime Minister Modi’s relationship with Uttar Pradesh is very intimate. When the Prime Minister visited Kashi in 2014, he said that Mother Ganga had called him. The intimate relationship that began with Kashi and Mother Ganga has deepened over time and today forms the basis for the state’s all-round transformation. With the shared resolve of the central and state governments and the spirit of Team India, Uttar Pradesh is moving forward on a path of unprecedented progress.”

CM Further said, “It is well known that before 2017, Uttar Pradesh was grappling with administrative instability, a sense of insecurity among the people, and a lack of basic amenities. Inspired by the Prime Minister’s vision, Uttar Pradesh adopted a new work culture of governance. As a result, good governance, strong law and order, modern infrastructure, and an investment-friendly environment have emerged as Uttar Pradesh’s hallmark. Uttar Pradesh is establishing new dimensions with renewed confidence.”
