Development of the first phase of the Noida International Airport is underway in an area of over 1,300 hectare and will serve as the second international airport in the National Capital Region after Delhi's IGI Airport.

While the Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), which is developing the public-private partnership (PPP) project, recently said the airport will open in April 2025, the UP government has insisted on its scheduled completion by September-end this year.
