It will benefit crores of people in Delhi-NCR and Western Uttar Pradesh. Better roads, better rail network, better airports are not just infrastructure projects but they transform the entire region, transforming people's lives completely: PM Modi

The airport will be connected to the Delhi-Mumbai expressway near Ballabhgarh in Haryana.

Thousands of people, including women and children, on Thursday gathered at Jewar amid heavy security to watch Prime Minister Narendra Modi lay the foundation stone of the Noida International Airport. Heavy security has been deployed at and around the event venue. Visitors are being frisked before entering the 'jan sabha' area, officials said, adding that the police have banned black flags.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive at Jewar shortly to lay the foundation stone for the Noida international airport in Gautam Buddha Nagar. This will be the fifth international airport in Uttar Pradesh.

The airport will be a major boost for the residents of East Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Meerut and nearby west UP districts. With a target of over one crore footfall every year, the airport will prove to be a major boost to tourism in Agra and Mathura.
