Jewar Airport, officially Noida International Greenfield Airport, is planned to be the country's largest airport. The airport is being constructed by Zurich International Airport AG and is proposed to be operational by 2024.

It s being built through a public private partnership (PPP) with an investment of Rs 5,730 crore. The airport will be spread over an area of 5,000 hectares - land on yamuna expressway. In early December last year, Zurich Airport International selected a consortium consisting of Nordic, Grimshaw, Haptic, and STUP as the architects to design the passenger terminal of the airport A second airport in the NCR is aimed mainly at reducing the burden on IGI Airport, which is expected to reach its peak capacity of handling close to 110 million passengers annually by end of 2030.

In the first phase, the Noida International Airport will have the capacity to handle 12 million passengers annually with one runway and 25 aircraft stands. The capacity of the airport is

expected to increase to 70 million passengers per annum by 2050. In the initial phase, the airport will only operate domestic flights

Jewar Airport will come up about 72 km from IGI Airport, 40 km from Noida, and about 40 km from the multi-modal logistics hub at Dadri. The airport will have multi-modal connectivity owing to its proximity to the Greater Noida-Agra Yamuna Expressway, and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and will be linked with the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway at Ballabhgarh, the Khurja-Jewar NH 91, and the dedicated freight corridor. The Metro is proposed to be extended from Noida to the NIA and the proposed High Speed Rail (Delhi-Varanasi) at the airport terminal. A 60-metre-wide road parallel to the Expressway is proposed to be widened to 100 metres. Experts say the success of any new airport depends on the connectivity it provides to nearby catchment areas. The Jewar airport is expected to serve residents of Noida and Greater Noida, and provide an alternative airport for residents of New Delhi and Gurgaon. Jewar airport will also serve western UP cities like Aligarh, Bulandshahr, Meerut, and Agra.
