Noida: The international airport site in Greater Noida has an advantage over the two other places under consideration in Uttar Pradesh as it already has key no-objection certificates (NoC) needed for the construction to start, senior government officials said on Sunday.
The state government's official pitch for Jewar as one of the possible sites, along with Kushinagar and Agra, is a step in the right direction, the officials said, adding all necessary approvals for the Jewar site are in place.
"Once both the Centre and state government reach a consensus on developing an airport in Jewar, it will be a matter of days before construction starts, because most of approvals have been taken," said Y K Bahl, former additional CEO of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority.
Bahl, who was closely associated with the Jewar airport project, for which land has already been acquired, said the BSP regime had obtained the clearances. "There is a dearth of political will in the Jewar case. But over the past few months, an environment has been created for the airport project in Jewat to take off. Jewar is in Gautam Budh Nagar and its MP is the junior civil aviation minister," he said.
