“Strategically positioned on the Yamuna Expressway, Noida International Airport (NIA) will be the new gateway for western Uttar Pradesh, alongside the NCR,” IndiGo’s Chief Strategy Officer, Aloke Singh told NDTV.
“Large metropolitan regions of India are maturing to support multiple airports, and IndiGo is proud to contribute to this evolution by serving all three in the NCR – IGI Airport, Hindon, and now NIA. As we continue to expand our operations, we remain committed to delivering affordable, on-time, and hassle-free travel experiences across our unparalleled network,” Singh added.
After IndiGo, other carriers including Akasa Air and Air India Express are also expected to start services from the airport in phases.
Noida International Airport will become the third commercial airport serving the National Capital Region after Delhi’s IGI Airport and Hindon Airport. The airport, located along the Yamuna Expressway in western Uttar Pradesh, is among India’s largest greenfield airport projects.
The expansion is expected to provide better air connectivity between the NCR and multiple tier-2 and tier-3 destinations, while supporting the growth of aviation infrastructure in the area.
