Noida Airport Inaugurated: Flight Operations to Begin by Early June

• Noida International Airport inaugurated today by the Prime Minister, but flight operations will not start immediately.
• Regular flight operations are expected to commence in the last week of May or first week of June, approximately 45-60 days post-inauguration.
• Delay is due to essential technical and security processes, including Airport Security Program (ASP) approval from BCAS and trial runs.
• DGCA license and aerodrome certification have already been secured; remaining steps include slot allotment for airlines and staff training.
• Once operational, Noida Airport will serve as a new air travel hub for Delhi-NCR, reducing congestion at IGI Airport and improving connectivity.
