When will Noida International Airport open? What we know after key DGCA license granted
The Noida International Airport is ready to launch within two months after receiving DGCA approval and is expected to handle 12 million passengers yearly.

After the DGCA approval, cargo and domestic flight operations are expected to begin within 45 days, as mandated under the project plan. Spread across 1,300 hectares in Uttar Pradesh's Jewar, the airport facility cleared its ultimate hurdle - getting an aerodrome license, before kickstarting operations a day after it received mandatory security clearance from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). The BCAS had earlier flagged several issues that pushed back the inauguration, which was initially scheduled for September 2024. It had raised concerns over potential interference with the Doppler Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (DVOR), a navigation aid that provides aircraft with bearing information relative to a ground station. Questions were also raised over a steel wall near the DVOR, which staged a chance to affect the safety of aircraft during landing and take-off. BCAS questioned the makeshift structure and asked the airport operator to replace it with a permanent wall. “While constructing the permanent wall will take a few months, BCAS has granted clearance on the condition that a permanent structure is built within six months,” an official aware of the matter said.About the Noida International Airport
Expected to handle about 12 million passengers annually in its first phase, the NIA is being developed as the national capital region’s second major airport after Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. The facility features a runway with orientation 10/28 and dimensions of 3,900 m × 45 m, supported by an Instrument Landing System (ILS) and Aeronautical Ground Lighting (AGL) system, enabling 24×7 operations. “The aerodrome has parking stands for 24 Code C and 02 Code D/F aircraft and is equipped with ARFF Category 9 facilities capable of handling wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 777-300ER,” a statement by the government read. The airport is being developed in four phases along with a multi-modal cargo hub. After the completion of all phases, it would be equipped to handle up to 70 million passengers per year, emerging as a major aviation hub for the national capital region and western Uttar Pradesh. The project was awarded in October 2020 to Zurich Airport International AG, which is developing and operating the airport through its Indian subsidiary, Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), under a 40-year public-private partnership, HT earlier reported. It is overseen by Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL), the state-owned special purpose vehicle.
