What is the latest progress on the Noida airport and the land acquisition process?
In respect of the latest progress, YIAPL (100 percent subsidiary of Zurich Airport International AG) has recently signed an agreement with Airport Authority of India (AAI) for the provision of air navigation services which include communications, navigation, and surveillance systems and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) as a part of the development plan for the Noida International Airport. Contributing to the agreement, AAI will plan and procure CNS/ATM equipment, install, and commission the equipment and provide air traffic services for aircraft intended for Noida International Airport (NIA). NIA will plan and build all relevant aeronautical facilities according to national and international norms laid down by MOCA, DGCA and ICAO. NIA and AAI will set up a joint coordination committee to monitor the implementation of the agreement. NIA has already received the land for the development of Phase-I and the earthworks have been initiated.
What are some of the important steps to be completed before the airport is commissioned in 2025?
As Noida International Airport is a greenfield airport, everything has to be planned, designed and built. This includes access roads, electricity and water supply, wastewater systems and drainage, terminal building, runways, taxiways, aircraft parking stands, ATC tower and firefighting facilities and a larger number of administrative and technical buildings. We are developing the airport as a destination with attractive retail, food and beverage and entertainment opportunities for weekend getaways and for travellers to Agra and other important tourist destinations in the area. Thus, substantial activities will be seen to provide these facilities.
What are some of the industry firsts that we can expect from Noida airport?
