The Noida International Airport (NIA), being built at Jewar in Greater Noida, is set to transform air travel and hospitality in Delhi-NCR. As the region's second international airport, NIA will significantly reduce the travel burden for millions of Noida, Greater Noida, and East UP residents who currently depend on IGI Airport in Delhi — often a 2+ hour journey.
Key Facts About Jewar Airport
- Official Name: Noida International Airport (likely to be renamed after a historical figure upon inauguration)
- Location: Jewar Tehsil, Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Greater Noida
- Phase 1 Capacity: 12 million passengers per year (expandable to 70 million)

- Area: 5,000 hectares (making it one of Asia's largest airports by area)

What This Means for Travellers
Shorter Airport Commutes
Currently, getting from Noida to IGI Airport takes 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. Jewar Airport will offer a more predictable 45–55 minute commute from central Noida, with less traffic and no Delhi congestion to navigate.
More Flight Options
Phase 1 will initially serve mainly domestic routes, but international services to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and eventually Europe are planned. Having two major airports in NCR will increase competition and potentially lower airfares.
Accommodation Shift
Currently, many travellers stay near IGI Airport (Aerocity, Mahipalpur) because of flight proximity. With Jewar Airport, Noida becomes the optimal accommodation choice for travellers using the new airport — especially those visiting Noida, Greater Noida, or East Delhi for business.
Impact on Hotels and Serviced Apartments
The new airport is expected to significantly boost demand for premium accommodation in the Noida Expressway corridor. Properties like ZenithSuites, strategically located in Sector 94, will benefit from being:
- Equidistant from both airports
- On the direct route to Jewar via the Expressway
- Already established with premium infrastructure and services
- In the emerging "sweet spot" for travellers who want access to both Delhi and the new airport
Should You Wait for Jewar Airport to Open?
No. The Noida Expressway corridor is already a premium destination for business and leisure travellers. The airport's opening will enhance the area's appeal, but the excellent infrastructure, dining, entertainment, and accommodation options are available right now.
