Jewar airport operation will be seven months behind schedule!

NATIONAL  - The Greenfield International Airport being built at Jewar will not be able to start on time. Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL), the government agency overseeing the construction of the airport, has given this information to the Uttar Pradesh government. The agency says that the operation of the airport will be delayed by seven months from the scheduled time. According to the agency, about 78.11 percent work of Jewar Airport has been completed. But due to the slow pace of work it will not start in September. Officials gave this information on Monday.
The deadline for completion of the terminal building project, September 29, 2024, has been postponed by seven months, officials said. Along with this, Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) has given the time for its completion as April 2025. According to officials, the reason for the slow pace of work is the delay in importing steel required for the construction of the terminal building and other related infrastructure. "We issued a notice and also objected to the company starting construction work on other components - the airport hotel by Rosette Hotels and the cargo terminal by AISATS - without layout approval from the government," NIAL chief executive officer Arun Veer Singh said. In a statement on Monday, YIAPL clarified that the construction and development work at Noida airport is at an advanced stage and the company is progressing with important milestones on the way to operational readiness.
