Flights Ready to Take off from Noida Airport, Target is to Complete the Project in 15 Days

The dream of Noida International Airport is now on the verge of turning into reality for everyone to see. The sprawling Noida International Airport in Jewar is now just two steps away from opening for the general public. Officials said on Monday that the remaining work of the airport includes removing construction materials from roads and open spaces, landscaping, horticulture and putting finishing touches, such as painting. Another primary task is obtaining an aerodrome license from the DGCA, which is mandatory for every commercial airport.

Finishing Work to Be Completed in 15 Days

Shailendra Bhatia, the Nodal Officer for Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL), said, "Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) has been instructed to complete all the remaining work within 15 days before the scheduled opening date." This includes cleaning the terminal and other buildings, removing debris from roads and beautifying the area. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the site on Saturday and directed that the airport should be fully ready for operations within two weeks.

DGCA License Soon, Trial Flights Ready

Airside security clearance from BCAS was received in September. Now, the DGCA will conduct system testing and trial flights. Bhatia said, "The license will be issued after all safety standards are verified, after which the opening date of the airport will be decided.

" First phase on 3,300 Acres, Delhi to Get Relief

This greenfield airport, which spreads across 3,300 acres in the first phase, is one of India's largest projects. So far, 6,700 acres of land have been acquired, and another 5,100 acres will be added in the next three months. Once the operations begin, pressure on Delhi's IGI Airport will be significantly reduced, and North India will gain a new aviation hub.
