Jewar Airport will be developed by Switzerland’s Zurich Airport International AG by 2023! India’s largest airport, the upcoming Jewar Airport in Uttar Pradesh, is all set to be developed as a world-class facility by Zurich Airport International AG. Apart from the Swiss company, Adani and GMR-led Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) and two other firms took part in the financial bidding to build Delhi-NCR’s third airport. Jewar Airport, which is touted as India’s biggest airport when it is fully built, will come up in Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Buddh Nagar district, as per a PTI report. Delhi-NCR already has two airports- the Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in Delhi and Hindon Airport (VIDX) in Ghaziabad.
The Jewar Airport or the Noida International Greenfield Airport will be built over 5,000 hectares. The airport will be built at an estimated cost of Rs 29,560 crore, the project’s nodal officer Shailendra Bhatia was quoted as saying in the airport. Zurich Airport International AG was selected after it emerged as the highest bidder for developing the Jewar airport during the financial bids.
