According to Zurich Airport International Asia, phase-I of the Noida airport project is expected to be completed by September 30, 2024. On completion, the Jewar Airport will cater to 12 million passengers under phase-I. An area of 1,334 hectares has been earmarked for development of phase-1 of the airport project.

The Jewar Airport project, which was first conceived in 2001 and received approval only over a decade-and-a-half later, will entail the development of 2,200 acres of land. With the Jewar Airport becoming operational, the national capital region will get the distinction of hosting two international airports within a 100-kilometre radius.
Jewar Airport And The Connectivity Net
From the broader perspective, the Jewar airport will connect several key cities of UP, including Agra, Mathura and Gautam Buddh Nagar, to the world’s aviation network. It will also provide the western UP region with a highly robust connectivity net - the travel time to and from the Jewar Airport is expected to be one of the major determinants for passenger’s airport preference.

As it is, the Jewar Airport site is about 30 kms from the state highway (SH-22A) that connects Palwal and Aligarh. It is also 700 metres from the Yamuna Expressway. The arrival of the airport would bless this property market with several other infrastructural developments, too. The Jewar Airport will have an Aerocity on the lines of the one at the IGI Airport. Plans are also in the works to link the $-3.1 billion Jewar Airport with Delhi's Metro’s Aqua Line by 2025. The government is also considering the possibility of linking the airport with Sarai Kale Khan, a major bus transit station in the national capital, through a dedicated Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS). At a later stage, the Jewar Airport could be connected with the Eastern Peripheral Expressway that joins Haryana's Palwal with Kundli, bypassing the national capital.
