“We have granted in-principle approval for a greenfield airport at Jewar (Greater Noida) to cater to the growing flying requirements of NCR," aviation minister Ashok Gajapati Raju told reporters today.
He added that the International Airport will cater to 30-50 million passengers per year over the next 10-15 years. "The area notified for Noida Airport is 3,000 hectares.
