Equipped with a 3,900-metre runway capable of handling wide-body aircraft, including long-haul international flights, the upcoming Noida International Airport is preparing to begin commercial operations in April 2026.
The airport features an Instrument Landing System (ILS), advanced navigation aids and airfield lighting that will enable round-the-clock operations, even in low-visibility conditions such as winter fog that often disrupts flights in North India.
With infrastructure designed for low-visibility operations and a terminal built for rapid passenger processing, the airport aims to manage both fog-related disruptions and high passenger throughput.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the much-awaited Noida International Airport at Jewar in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. He is expected to arrive in Jewar, Gautam Buddha Nagar, around 11:30 am to tour the terminal building, followed by the formal launch at noon and a public address highlighting the project’s significance and future roadmap.
Located in Gautam Buddha Nagar district along the Yamuna Expressway, the airport has been developed as the NCR’s second international airport after Delhi’s IGI Airport. The facility is expected to share passenger and cargo traffic with Delhi, easing the burden on IGI, which currently handles most of the region’s flights.
