Wedoany.com Report on Mar 10th, The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued an aerodrome license to Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) on March 6, 2026, authorizing the commencement of operations at the Noida International Airport constructed in Jewar, Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh. This license permits the airport to operate under the public use category and supports round-the-clock operations, marking a significant milestone in the smooth progress of the Noida International Airport's construction.

The Noida International Airport features a 3,900-meter by 45-meter runway oriented 10/28, equipped with an Instrument Landing System and Aeronautical Ground Lighting System to ensure all-weather flight operations. The airport has also planned 24 parking stands for Category C aircraft and two for Category D/F aircraft. It is equipped with Category 9 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting facilities and is capable of accommodating wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 777-300ER.

The development plan for Noida International Airport is divided into four phases and will include a multimodal cargo hub. The first phase involves the construction of one terminal and one runway, with an expected annual passenger handling capacity of approximately 12 million. With subsequent expansions, the airport's passenger handling capacity is ultimately projected to increase to 70 million to meet future aviation demand growth.
