Noida Airport launch: Prime Minister Narendra Modi lays the foundation stone for the international airport at Jewar in Gautam Buddha Nagar on Thursday. This will be the fifth international airport in Uttar Pradesh on completion. The much-awaited project is being flagged off just weeks before schedule of the UP Assembly elections are announced.
The Jewar airport will be the second international airport to come up in Delhi-NCR after the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The development of the first phase of the airport is being done at a cost of over Rs 10,050 crore. Spread over more than 1,300 hectares, the completed first phase of the airport will have a capacity to serve around 1.2 crore passengers a year and work on it is scheduled to be completed by 2024.
