Noida International Airport

Noida International Airport (also known as Jewar Airport) is a greenfield international airport being developed at Jewar in Gautam Buddh Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is positioned to serve the National Capital Region (NCR) alongside Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, with a particular focus on passengers and cargo from western Uttar Pradesh and the fast-growing Noida–Greater Noida industrial belt. The project is implemented through a public-private partnership: the Uttar Pradesh government awarded the concession to Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), a special-purpose vehicle owned by Zurich Airport International AG, which holds the concession to design, build, finance, operate and transfer the airport. The airport is planned in phases, with an initial phase comprising a single runway and terminal designed to handle a substantial initial passenger capacity, followed by expansion to multiple runways and a larger terminal footprint as demand grows. The brand is therefore a transport-infrastructure platform rather than a consumer product: its 'offerings' are aeronautical services (passenger terminals, runways, air traffic infrastructure), cargo handling, and eventually airport-city commercial development. As of the mid-2020s the project was in its construction and commissioning phase, with opening timelines having been revised more than once. The airport's commercial identity is closely tied to its role as a second gateway for Delhi NCR and as a catalyst for the Yamuna Expressway industrial corridor.

The Noida International Airport project emerged from a long-standing proposal to build a second airport for the Delhi National Capital Region. The site at Jewar in Uttar Pradesh was selected after earlier proposals elsewhere in the NCR were set aside. The project was structured as a public-private partnership under the Uttar Pradesh government's airport policy, with the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) providing land and the state government granting the concession. In 2019 the concession was awarded to Zurich Airport International AG, which set up Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) as the project company. The foundation stone was laid in late 2021, and construction of the first phase — including a runway, terminal, air traffic control tower and cargo facilities — began in earnest. The airport was branded Noida International Airport to associate it with the Noida–Greater Noida urban and industrial cluster, even though the site lies at Jewar, some distance from Noida city. Opening timelines were revised several times during construction, with target dates moving from 2024 into 2025 and beyond. The airport is designed to be developed in phases, with ultimate capacity planned for multiple runways and a large terminal complex, and with an associated airport city and cargo hub intended to attract logistics and manufacturing investment along the Yamuna Expressway corridor.
