Following the security approval, the next step in the regulatory process will involve a final inspection by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Officials said the aviation regulator is expected to conduct a concluding on-site assessment of the airport infrastructure and operational readiness before granting the aerodrome licence required for flight operations.
Once operational, the airport is expected to significantly enhance air connectivity for the national capital region and neighbouring areas. The facility is designed to serve the growing travel demand in the greater Delhi region and provide improved connectivity for passengers from western parts of Uttar Pradesh.
The airport, located in Jewar in the Gautam Buddh Nagar district, is envisioned as a major international aviation hub. Authorities believe it will not only reduce congestion at Indira Gandhi International Airport but also strengthen regional economic growth by improving domestic and international connectivity for businesses and travellers.
