Noida International Airport in Jewar: Key features

The Noida International Airport is one of the largest greenfield airport projects in India, with Phase I developed at an estimated cost of ₹11,200 crore under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Initially, it will have the capacity to handle 12 million passengers per annum (MPPA), which can be expanded to 70 MPPA in later phases. The airport includes a 3,900-metre runway capable of accommodating wide-body aircraft, along with advanced navigation systems, such as the Instrument Landing System (ILS), and modern airfield lighting, enabling efficient all-weather, round-the-clock operations.

It also features a strong cargo infrastructure, including a multi-modal cargo hub with an integrated cargo terminal and logistics zones. The cargo facility is designed to handle over 2.5 lakh metric tonnes annually, with the potential to scale up to around 18 lakh metric tonnes. Additionally, a dedicated 40-acre Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility has been planned.

Envisioned as a sustainable, future-ready project, the airport aims to operate as a net-zero-emissions facility by incorporating energy-efficient technologies and environmentally responsible practices. Its architectural design reflects Indian heritage, drawing inspiration from traditional ghats and havelis, and combining cultural elements with modern infrastructure.
