Easing congestion and boosting NCR aviation 

Phase I of Noida International Airport has been developed at an estimated cost of around Rs 11,200 crore under a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model.

The airport is designed as a key international gateway for the National Capital Region (NCR), significantly strengthening India’s airport infrastructure and boosting regional as well as international connectivity.

Noida International Airport ranks among India’s largest greenfield airport projects.

It will initially handle about 12 million passengers per annum, with the capacity to scale up to 70 million after full development.

The airport features a 3,900‑metre runway capable of accommodating wide‑body aircraft, along with modern navigation systems such as Instrument Landing System (ILS) and advanced airfield lighting to support efficient, all‑weather, round‑the‑clock operations.
