Jewar Airport: India's Future Largest? Unpacking the 'Largest Airport' Claim

• Jewar International Airport, Noida, is not currently India's largest airport by area, traffic, or capacity.
• The 'largest airport' claim is based on future projections and its multi-phase expansion plan extending to 2040-2050.
• Once fully developed, Jewar Airport is planned to cover around 7,200 acres with up to six runways and 70-150 million passenger capacity.
• Currently, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad is the largest by area (5,500 acres), and Delhi's IGI Airport is the busiest.
• Jewar has the potential to surpass IGI Airport in size and become one of Asia's largest airports upon full execution of all phases.
