Jewar International Airport Project: Swiss developer selects 4-company consortium to design passenger terminal

A four-company consortium has been selected by Swiss developer Zurich Airport International to design the passenger terminal for the upcoming greenfield Jewar International Airport. Chairman and MD of Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), Daniel Bircher was quoted in a PTI report saying that a design competition has been conducted where three international teams have been invited to prepare proposals on how this airport would be designed, considering the efficiency, net zero emissions, digital airport along with other major traits. A 100% subsidiary of Zurich Airport International, YIAPL has been incorporated to develop Jewar International Airport in Noida.

The consortium includes Nordic, Haptic, Grimshaw and STUP – a team of four companies from Norway, England and India. According to the report, the Hyderabad and the new Istanbul airports have been designed by the members of this team. Around 20 years ago, Grimshaw was involved in designing Zurich airport’s one of the terminals. Bircher further said that they are already at work. The key design activities are expected to be concluded by next June or July so that YIAPL is in a position to contract its construction partner to develop the airport, he said.
