Taking into account that the land acquired by the Uttar Pradesh government would only be transferred to the concessionaire by April-May 2021, the Jewar Airport — now rechristened Noida International Airport — could become operational by September 2024, Daniel Bircher, CMD of Yamuna International Airport Pvt Ltd (YIAPL) told The Indian Express.
YIAPL, a fully-owned unit of Zurich Airport International, has been awarded the project to develop the Greenfield airport in Greater Noida, the concession agreement for which was signed on October 7.
“We have been busy since October 7, when we signed the concession agreement. Yesterday, together with the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, we decided the name of the airport, which will be Noida International Airport.
