For around 30-35 years, there has been a demand for such an airport. In the absence of the will power, this work could not have taken off. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath government took the decision in 2017 itself that Asia’s largest airport would be constructed in Jewar region.

Uttar Pradesh To Have 5 International Airports

With this airport becoming a reality, Uttar Pradesh is poised to become the only state in India to have five international airports, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi lays the foundation stone of the Noida International Airport (NIA) in Jewar, Gautam Buddha Nagar on Thursday. The greenfield airport in Jewar will be the largest in India once fully operationalized and will unclog the Delhi Airport, extending superior air connectivity to people travelling to and from Delhi-NCR.

Noida International Airport will have the lower airport development fees as UP govt gives concession and tax benefits to major infrastructure development projects in the state, which in turn will reduce burden on travellers.
