Lucknow, 18

March (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Wednesday that a proposal

has been issued to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inagurate Noida

International Airport in Jewar on March 28. Adityanath, speaking at a function

here, stated that Uttar Pradesh's air connectivity has grown tremendously in

recent years. In terms of nationwide connectivity, particularly aviation

connectivity, Uttar Pradesh now has 16 domestic airports and four international

airports. Jewar will soon be home to the state's fifth international airport.

We have asked the Prime Minister for its inauguration on March 28 and have

invited him, he added. He noted that the airport is projected to have a

significant impact on the state's economy. Consider the amount of increase in

revenue after Jewar airport is operating. According to the CM, it is estimated

to earn around Rs 1 lakh crore in income for the UP government.

He was

addressing at an event called Navnirman Ke 9 Varsh (9 Years of Reform). The

statements came only days after Noida International Airport CEO Christoph

Schnellmann met with Adityanath in Lucknow to receive the airport's aerodrome permit

given by the Centre. According to a state government statement released on

March 10, the group also informed the chief minister on the project's

development, projected inauguration timetable, and the start of commercial

flights.

According

to officials, the process of inauguration and commercial service debut at the

airport has progressed forward since the aerodrome licence was issued. The

Bureau of Civil Aviation Security is now reviewing the airport security plan,

and the final date of inauguration will be determined once all relevant

permissions have been obtained.
