The new Noida International Airport at Jewar serves Delhi-NCR and parts of western Uttar Pradesh. It has started domestic operations with airlines like IndiGo and Akasa Air. From here, passengers can travel to several major metros, along with a number of tier-2 cities and popular tourist spots across India.
Domestic Destinations
Direct domestic flight destinations from the airport already cover a wide spread of cities across India, giving passengers a range of options right from the start of operations. The initial network includes more than 16 key destinations, connecting Noida with major metropolitan hubs, regional centres, and important travel gateways.
Among the major metro and business routes, flights operate to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Navi Mumbai, supporting both corporate travel and leisure connectivity to some of India’s busiest urban centres. These links are expected to be among the most frequently used, given the strong economic and commercial ties between these cities and the Delhi–NCR region.
The airport also offers strong connectivity to North India and the Himalayan belt. Destinations such as Amritsar, Jammu, Srinagar, Chandigarh, Dharamshala, Dehradun, and Pantnagar make it easier for travellers to reach key religious sites, hill stations, and tourism hotspots without needing to transit through Delhi.
Within Uttar Pradesh, direct flights connect Lucknow and Bareilly, improving intra-state accessibility and reducing travel time across the region. Meanwhile, routes to Rajasthan and central India include Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kishangarh, and Bhopal, opening up access to heritage cities, cultural centres, and important administrative hubs.
Overall, this early domestic network reflects a balanced mix of business, tourism, and regional demand, positioning the airport as an emerging connector across northern and central India.
Upcoming International Routes
The airport is currently focused on domestic operations, but international routes are already being planned. Cities such as Dubai, Singapore, and Zurich are expected to be among the first overseas connections once the network expands. These routes are intended to build stronger global links for the Delhi–NCR region and gradually position the airport as an international gateway, alongside its growing domestic operations.
Operational Rollout And Phase 1 Expansion
Beyond the initial domestic network, the airport’s early operations are being shaped by a phased rollout plan that includes set timelines, international entry points, and a steady increase in flight frequency following its commercial launch on June 15, 2026.
International Phase 1 timeline & destinations
International flights are expected to start towards the end of the third quarter of 2026, with September to October currently being the expected window. The first overseas routes lined up include Zurich, Dubai and Singapore. Zurich in particular is set to act as a key European link, supported by its partnership with Zurich Airport International, as the airport begins building out its long-haul network.
Phased route rollouts (from July 2026)
A further expansion is scheduled from 1 July 2026, when the airport is expected to handle around 40 daily flights as operations scale up. This phase includes:
• Daily flights to Chandigarh, Dehradun, Dharamshala, Jaipur, and Bhopal
• Four-times-weekly services (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday) to Jodhpur and Bareilly
• Three-times-weekly services (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) to Kishangarh
