Jewar Airport Update: What to expect from Modi govt 2.0?

One of the most awaited development projects in Uttar Pradesh, Jewar airport is on the priority list of Union Minister, Mahesh Sharma. Sharma has been elected as a Member of Parliament from Gautam Budh Nagar (Noida) constituency, where Jewar Airport is expected to be developed soon.  After getting elected for another Lok Sabha term from Gautam Budh Nagar, Sharma said Jewar Airport is at the top of his priority list and he is committed to expedite work on the airport and have it ready soon.

In an interview to TOI on May 24, Sharma said Jewar airport would be the largest airport in the country with cargo and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services. The airport will help save huge amount of money paid to other countries for MRO. Sharma said that the airport will boost the local economy and provide jobs to many. He made a personal commitment in the interview to expedite the work on the airport and get it ready soon.

The Jewar Airport is expected to lighten the load on Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is already facing capacity issues. Projected to be ready by 2023, the airport is expected to begin operations with nine domestic and six international flights initially and grow up to handling six million passengers annually. Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) has begun its homework in this regard as the tender would be of global attraction because there would be many foreign companies interested in Jewar Airport construction.
