Lucknow
The Jewar International Airport in Greater Noida will be Indiaâs largest airport and second largest in Asia after Yogi Adityanath Cabinet okayed 3 runaways for the second phase development of the proposed airport.
Currently, Delhiâs Indira Gandhi International Airport is the largest in the country with three runways.
The first phase will, however, have only 2 runaways. The 1,334 hectares for the airport, rechristened as Greenfield International Airport, was acquired last year and the construction is in full swing. The first phase is expected to complete with a runway by 2024 with at Rs29,500 crore.
