If you live in Noida’s Sector 134, should you fly from the Noida International Airport near Jewar or the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) in Delhi? Consider the time and distance: it will take you 55 minutes to travel approximately 58 kilometers on the Yamuna Expressway to reach the Noida airport and nearly an hour to travel 34 kilometers to reach the Indira Gandhi Airport.

Connectivity between areas of Western Uttar Pradesh, Noida, Ghaziabad, and East Delhi, as well as the Noida airport, is currently limited. However, the construction of a 32-kilometer portion of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is planned to address this as early as December.

This means that for persons living in Bulandshahr, Hathras, Palwal, and Pari Chowk in Greater Noida, the Noida airport may be a better option than Delhi’s IGI Airport.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has already begun construction on this 32-kilometer segment that connects Delhi and Haryana to the Noida airport and is nearing completion. “It is expected to become operational in December.” “This will aid plenty of towns in Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh,” said a senior official from Noida International Airport Ltd. Limited.

Arun Vir Singh, CEO of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), stated that 30 planes will take off and land at the Noida Airport in March, ahead of the original deadline of April 17.

Other plans to increase connectivity.

According to officials, efforts are underway to connect the two airports. “The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has created a thorough project report of Rs 20,637 crore for the development of a 72.44-km Rapid Rail-cum-Metro Project, which will connect numerous districts of Delhi to Noida International Airport. It has been authorized by the Uttar Pradesh government, and a proposal has been submitted to the Ministry of Urban Affairs, Government of India, for review,” an official told The Indian Express on Monday.
