Noida International Airport, scheduled for commissioning by the end of next year, is ready to begin operations with a robust plan of up to 65 daily flights. Of these flights, 62 will serve domestic routes, two will connect to foreign destinations and one will be dedicated to cargo services, as confirmed by officials.

The airport's first phase, which recently received its unique IATA code DXN, is on track for an October 2024 commissioning deadline. Noida International Airport Ltd (NIAL), the special target entity established by the Government of Uttar Pradesh to oversee the development of the airport, is actively driving these initiatives.

NIAL officials have shared that, in addition to key cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune, talks are underway to include short-haul flights to destinations such as Dehradun and Pithoragarh in the initial routes. The selection of these routes is a careful process, with an assessment of the airport's capacity, commercial viability and airline feedback.

The upcoming launch of Noida International Airport represents an important step towards improving connectivity and air travel, both nationally and internationally. As preparations progress, the airport is poised to become a crucial transportation hub and strengthen the region's aviation infrastructure.
