First flight from Noida International Airport likely to take off by 2024
The first flight from the Noida International Airport, coming up at Jewar village on the outskirts of Delhi, is expected to take off in 2024.
The government of Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday signed the concessionaire agreement with Zurich Airport International AG, which had won the bid to build the airport at Noida in November last year.
The signing of the concessionaire agreement paves the way for the construction of the airport, which is projected to handle 70 million passengers per annum by 2050. The airport will be developed in four phases at a cost of Rs 29,560 crores, a NIAL official said.
“When phase-I development is completed in 2024, we will provide capacity for 12m (million) passengers per year,” Daniel Bircher, Chief Executive Officer, Zurich Airport International (Asia), told reporters at a virtual briefing here.
