Noida International Airport
Under construction airport in Uttar Pradesh, India
Noida International Airport (IATA: DXN, ICAO: VIND), also called Jewar Airport, is an international airport at Jewar in the Gautam Buddha Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, India, serving the National Capital Region and western Uttar Pradesh. In its first phase, the airport has one runway and one passenger terminal with a capacity of 12 million passengers annually. The airport will increase this capacity to 30 million passengers annually in the upcoming years. The airport is intended to complement Indira Gandhi International Airport as part of the Delhi-NCR region's dual-airport system.
The first phase was inaugurated on 28 March 2026, following the grant of an aerodrome licence by the DGCA on 6 March 2026. Commercial operations began on 15 June 2026.
History
Noida International Airport was originally proposed in 2001 as the greenfield Taj International Aviation Hub by then Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Rajnath Singh. The project subsequently saw repeated delays, changes in location and political reversals. Initially planned near Greater Noida, it was held up partly because of its proximity to Delhi's IGI Airport and the right of first refusal attached to Delhi airport's concession. The project was briefly considered for Agra under the Samajwadi Party-led government, but was eventually revived and moved back to Jewar in 2014.
