The under-construction Noida International Airport is likely to commence its trial in late February or early March in the coming year. The international airport is being constructed at Jewar, located close to Noida and Greater Noida. The major objective of the Noida International Airport is to facilitate worldwide connections to the citizens in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh while alleviating congestion at the national capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.

The move to commence the trial next year was taken in a meeting, according to NBT. Reports stated that the final timeframe for making the airport operational will be notified following the handover of the air control tower. Nearly 6000 construction workers have been dedicated for the construction of the Noida International Airport. 

In addition, several big infrastructure projects are being planned around the airport for the authorities in an effort to convert the area into an economic powerhouse. These proposals include connecting the airport to key highways through dedicated link roads and connecting the airport to the Delhi railway station with the metro trains. 

According to reports, almost 55 per cent of the airport’s building work has already been completed. The ATC tower and the runway are projected to be completed by December 2023, followed by a 6 to 8 month trial phase. The Noida International airport operational date is scheduled for October 24. The first phase of the airport is under development at present. 

Furthermore, the concerned authorities aim to construct a high-speed metro link between the under-construction Noida International Airport in Jewar and Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. As per the Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) authorities, the 72 km long Airport Express Line high-speed metro project might only have six stops to ascertain a swift trip.

Earlier, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had planned 12 stations along the corridor, which will run from the New Delhi metro interchange, where the Airport Express Line starts, to Noida airport in Jewar.
