JEWAR AIRPORT

Dec. 5, 2019

The Swiss company Zurich International Airport AG has won the bid for a new airport in Jewar in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, near Delhi.

About:

Jewar Airport will be about 72 km from IGI Airport, 40 km from Noida and Ghaziabad, 28 km from Greater Noida, and 65 km from Gurgaon.
The Jewar Airport primarily aims to reduce the load on Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. It will be an alternative not only for passengers within NCR but also for several cities in western Uttar Pradesh such as Agra, Bulandshahr or Aligarh.
It will be the third airport in the National Capital Region (NCR), after IGI Airport and the newly opened Hindon Airport (in Ghaziabad).
The airport is being planned as India’s largest, with a proposed six to eight runways once it is fully operational.
