Earlier this year, IndiGo marked its biggest launch at an airport yet when the airline commenced multiple daily flights from North Goa’s Mopa International Airport on the very first day of operations. It may well be the case that IndiGo’s launch at Noida International Airport will set a new record in the airline’s history.
We are excited to sign this MoU with IndiGo, which has a strong base both in domestic and international markets. The partnership between NIA and IndiGo will not only help bolster air connectivity but also innovate, ensuring an exceptional customer experience for our customers alike. By leveraging IndiGo’s extensive route network and expertise, we aim to provide our passengers with unparalleled connectivity and an exceptional travel experience.

The first phase of the Noida International Airport is expected to be operational by the end of 2024, with one runway and one terminal. It will be able to handle traffic of 12 million passengers annually. After the completion of the fourth phase, the airport will have the capacity to manage 70 million passengers per year. The airport is expected to reduce the burden on New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.
