Jewar airport in Greater Noida faces connectivity challenges

-


The world's fourth and India's largest proposed airport at Jewar area of Greater Noida is facing connectivity challenges.

The proposed airport, for which over 70 percent of land acquisition is done, is about 89 kilometers from the Indira Gandhi International Airport -the only international airport in the national capital region.

With such a massive distance, the travel time varies from two to three hours, depending on the traffic conditions. At present, one has to cross Delhi, Noida and Greater Noida to reach Jewar through the Yamuna Expressway.

The authorities concerned have chalked out a plan for the metro connectivity, but because of many stations, the travel time remained somewhat similar to that of the road transport.

"Primary plan for the metro connectivity of the proposed airport from Delhi has nearly 35 stops. With these many stops the metro to the airport will turn out to be a usual metro train and it will take around one and a half to two hours to complete the journey. This plan doesn't seem feasible for the largest airport in the country. Now, we are planning to curtail the number of stations or make it on the lines of the existing Airport Express Metro line in Delhi, with a handful of stations," said Thakur Dhirendra Singh, MLA, Jewar.

With companies like Ambanis, Adanis, GMR, Mumbai Airport Authority, Hong Kong Airport Authority and many others showing interest in the construction of the airport, the biggest challenge for the local authority is to shorten the 89-kilometer-long travel time from the IGI Airport. The estimated annual footfall at the proposed airport, when it becomes fully functional, will be around 50 lakh.

जेवर इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट के शिलान्यास की उलटी गिनती शुरू हो गई है। दिसंबर में एयरपोर्ट का शिलान्यास हो सकता है। जेवर एयरपोर्ट के लिए चार कंपनियों ने बिड डाली है। छह नवंबर को तीन बजे एयरपोर्ट की तकनीकी बिड खोली जाएगी। तकनीकी बिड में सफल कंपनियों की फाइनेंशियल बिड 29 नवंबर को खुलेगी। एयरपोर्ट की बिड जमा करने का बुधवार अंतिम दिन था। चार कंपनियों ने एयरपोर्ट के लिए बिड डाली है। बीस कंपनियों ने बिड डाक्यूमेंट खरीदे थे। नोएडा इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट कंपनी लिमिटेड (नियाल) के अधिकारियों का दावा है कि देश में बन रहे ग्रीन फील्ड एयरपोर्ट के लिए डाली गई सबसे अधिक बिड है। नियाल छह नवंबर को तीन बजे तकनीकी बिड खोलेगी। इसमें सफल कंपनियों की फाइनेंशियल बिड 29 नवंबर को खोली जाएगी। उम्मीद जताई जा रही है कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी दिसंबर में एयरपोर्ट का शिलान्यास कर सकते हैं। हालांकि शिलान्यास को लेकर अभी नियाल अधिकारी कुछ भी कहने को तैयार नहीं हैं। जेवर एयरपोर्ट के लिए 16 गांव की पांच हजार हेक्टेयर भूमि अधिसूचित है। एयरपोर्ट का पूरी तरह विकास होने पर यह चार से छह रनवे का एयरपोर्ट होगा। एयर...

GREATER NOIDA: The upcoming Jewar Airport will have six runways, which would make it the largest airport in India once completed. This was announced by Yamuna Authority CEO Arun Vir Singh on Wednesday. Currently, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport is the only one in the country to have three runaways.  When finished, Jewar Airport will also be counted along with two of the largest airports in the world — O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, which is spread over 7,200 acres and has eight runways, and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in the US state of Texas that has seven runways. “Some 5,000 hectares in Jewar is earmarked as an aviation hub in Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority’s (YEIDA) master plan. Everything, including the six runways, will fall within these 5,000 hectares designated for the airport. After completion, Jewar will definitely become India’s largest airport,” CEO Singh said. The formal announcement by YEIDA come...

Jewar Airport is again in the news as Zurich Airport has won the bid to develop it. Once completed, the Jewar International Airport will not only ease traffic at Delhi's IGI Airport but also create multiple job opportunities and give decent impetus to the property market in Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway.
