Noida International Airport (IATA: DXN, ICAO: VIND), also known as Jewar Airport,[3][4][5][6] is an upcoming international airport being constructed near Jewar in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India, which will serve the National Capital Region (NCR).[7] The airport is situated in the new planned YEIDA city.[8]

Once completed, it will be an alternative to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi by relieving its high and rising traffic load, and is planned to be India's and Asia's largest airport.[9] The Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) will be the implementing agency on behalf of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The airport is to be developed through a public-private partnership model (PPP). In 2019, Flughafen Zürich AG, the operator of Zurich Airport in Switzerland won the bid to build and operate the airport for 40 years.[10]

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is also constructing a 31-kilometre long (19-mile) greenfield highway from the airport to Sector-65, Faridabad on Delhi–Mumbai Expressway. The proposed plan in Jewar is to build a two-runway airport by 2024, and at a future date, to expand it into a 7,200 acres (2,900 ha) eight-runway airport.[11] According to the plan, the airport will handle 1.2 crore (12 million) passengers per annum initially and up to 6-12 crore passengers per annum, after its expansion over a period of 30 years.[12] It will be the third commercial airport in the National Capital Region, after Indira Gandhi International Airport and Hindon Airport.[13]
