Noida International Airport, also known as Jewar International Airport, is an upcoming international airport being constructed near Jewar in Gautam Buddha Nagar District, Uttar Pradesh in India, which will serve the National Capital Region (NCR). Once completed, it will be an alternative to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi by relieving its high and rising traffic load, and is planned to be India’s and Asia’s largest airport.
With six runways once all its expansions are completed, it is expected to be India’s and Asia’s largest airport and will be the fourth-largest airport in the world. In 2019, a proposal was made to build two additional runways to bring the total to eight runways once completed, subject to the availability of land. The proposal has been approved by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Construction work for the airport started in June 2021. Spanning 1,334 acres, the Noida International Airport is being developed by Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swiss concessionaire Zurich International Airport AG. At present, ATC, runway and terminal building work is under process. It will also be India’s first net-zero carbon emissions airport.
