Lucknow: After Purvanchal and Bundelkhand, the Noida (Jewar) airport will be a mega Western UP push by PM Narendra Modi for the upcoming UP assembly elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of Noida International Airport at Jewar on November 25. Officials of the Yamuna Expressway industrial development authority (Yeida) on Monday said that the upcoming Noida international airport in Jewar, which is said to be a key development project, has fuelled “big investments” and “growth” in Gautam Budh Nagar.

The airport is expected to be operational from 2024 but the grand plans for the facility of the developer, Zurich Airport International AG, and the Uttar Pradesh government are much bigger. The Noida Airport terminals will have a mammoth capacity of 70 million, 186 airport stands, a cargo terminal with one million tonne capacity and excellent connectivity by an expressway, a metro and high-speed rail.

According to the reports, this is the grand plan for the Noida International Airport in 20 years time.
