GautamBuddhaNagar: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday inspected the under-construction Noida International Airport in Jewar. He reviewed the real-time progress of various components of the airport including the terminal building, the venue for the inauguration ceremony, security systems, traffic arrangements and ongoing construction activities. Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu accompanied the Chief Minister during the visit.
CM Yogi said that the Noida International Airport is set to become a new identity of Uttar Pradesh’s development and a major destination for global investment. He emphasised that quality, adherence to timelines and strong inter-departmental coordination must remain the highest priority in the execution of this flagship project.
During the briefing, the Chief Minister was informed that the airport has not yet received its aerodrome licence. He directed the concerned officials to immediately complete all pending security compliances in coordination with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security and CISF.
