Noida International Airport (NIA) is poised to commence operations, projecting an initial annual passenger traffic of 6 to 8 million within its first full year. Phase 1 of the airport is designed for a capacity of 12 million passengers, with ambitious plans to expand to 30 million annually by 2030 and eventually 70 million by 2050. This new greenfield airport aims to alleviate pressure on Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and significantly contribute to India's aspiration of becoming a global aviation hub.
The airport promises a unique passenger experience by merging Swiss efficiency with Indian warmth. It will feature a fully digital travel journey, incorporating self-bag drops, self-boarding gates, and DigiYatra biometric-enabled processing at every gate for swift and secure travel. Connectivity options will include taxis, buses, intercity coaches, and future links via high-speed rail and metro corridors, ensuring comprehensive last-mile access.
