These connections are set to enhance access between tier 2 / 3 cities and major metros, making air travel more seamless for customers across India.

Aloke Singh, Chief Strategy Officer, IndiGo, said, “Opening of the Noida International Airport marks a new chapter in India’s aviation story. Delhi NCR now joins a select group of global megacities served by multiple airports. For IndiGo, the privilege of being the launch carrier at NIA is more than a commercial milestone; it is a commitment to western Uttar Pradesh, to the broader Delhi NCR, and the millions of travellers for whom this gateway opens new possibilities. We are proud to be here from day one.”

Christoph Schnellmann, Vice Chairman, Noida International Airport said, “Welcoming IndiGo’s first flights marks the beginning of a new chapter for Noida International Airport. As our launch carrier, IndiGo will connect NIA to key destinations across India, providing passengers with greater choice and convenience from day one. We look forward to working closely with IndiGo to deliver a seamless travel experience and support the continued growth of aviation, trade and tourism across the region.”

Strategically located along the Yamuna Expressway, Noida International Airport is poised to become a key aviation and logistics hub complementing existing capacity in the region. With the addition of NIA, IndiGo will now serve all three airports in the NCR – Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi), Hindon Airport (Ghaziabad), and Noida International Airport (Noida).
