Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday hailed the inauguration of Phase I of the Noida International Airport at Jewar as a pivotal moment in the state’s development.
The Chief Minister described the airport as a “runway for Uttar Pradesh’s development” and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his vision in turning the project into reality.
Prime Minister Modi is set to inaugurate Phase I of Noida International Airport at Jewar today. The first phase has been developed at an investment of around Rs 11,200 crore under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
In a post on X, the Chief Minister wrote, “The development journey of ‘New Uttar Pradesh’ in ‘New India’ is set to reach another golden milestone today. Under the auspicious leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the grand inauguration of the first phase of Noida International Airport, Jewar, is taking place.”
“This airport in Jewar is the runway for Uttar Pradesh’s development. From here, the dreams of the youth will take flight, opportunities will come to life, and the future will reach new heights. Special congratulations to our farmer brothers who have laid the foundation for this transformative project. Your dedication has made this development possible. On behalf of the 25 crore residents of the state, a warm welcome and heartfelt felicitations to the Prime Minister,” the post added.
The airport, envisioned as a major international gateway for the National Capital Region (NCR), represents a significant step in strengthening the country’s aviation infrastructure and enhancing both regional and international connectivity.
The Noida International Airport has been developed as the second international airport for the Delhi NCR region, complementing the Indira Gandhi International Airport. Together, the two airports will function as an integrated aviation system, easing congestion, expanding passenger capacity, and positioning the Delhi NCR among the world’s leading aviation hubs.
