Noida International Airport: Licence Cleared for Takeoff by Nov 30

Noida International Airport is expected to receive its aerodrome licence by November 30, marking the final step before the commencement of commercial operations.

Located in the National Capital Region of Uttar Pradesh, the airport has completed most of its inspections, with a full security vetting scheduled for November 24. Following licence approval, airlines including Air India, Akasa Air, and IndiGo will decide the launch date, contingent on the availability of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the formal inauguration.

RK Singh, CEO of Noida International Airport (NIAL), stated, “Once the licence is granted, the private concessionaire—along with airlines—will decide when operations can begin.” The airport’s infrastructure, including the ATC tower, fire and rescue services, and security systems, has been thoroughly tested to ensure full compliance with aviation standards.
