Aviation Hub at Jewar

GREATER NOIDA: An aviation hub will also come up near the proposed Jewar airport

and a project report has already been submitted by Ernst & Young, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority said on Friday. The move is significant as the airport

is expected to start with an annual passenger handling capacity of 60 lakh when it opens by March 2023. The aviation hub will primarily cater to business and leisure travellers, officials said.

Arunveer Singh, CEO of YEIDA, told TOI, “The government is developing the Jewar

International Airport. So, we have decided to develop a city with proper eco-system in the airport’s neighbourhood. This will be a kind of aviation hub that will sync with the international airport. This will be based on clean and green energy. We are currently studying the report’s findings.”

Officials said Ernst & Young also conducted a study of the world’s leading airports, including Istanbul airport in Turkey and Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands, and incorporated the findings in the project report. “This aviation hub will be a place where people would not need to take out their private vehicles to travel. We will develop a good public transport system which people will prefer to take. There will be proper entertainment and leisure facilities as well,” Singh said.

The report also mentions Singapore’s Changi Airport that has a butterfly garden on its campus and is widely appreciated by flyers to the Southeast Asian country. Some airports like Incheon International Airport in Korea is located on an island where people visit, stay a few days, and return. “While Jewar does not have a coastal area

, YEIDA is exploring other options to attract flyers,” the CEO said.

Some projects like golf course, leisure park, musical water fountain, skill development centres are also under consideration in this aviation hub. YEIDA will form an internal committee to further study this report and also seek expert opinion before implementation of the project, Singh added.

The government is likely to float a tender and hire a developer for the Jewar airport once the model code of conduct is lifted. The UP government has notified 1239.14 hectares in the six villages for land acquisition in the first phase. There are 8,971-project affected families whose either farming or residential land have come under this project.

As many as 21 stations in Noida will be connected with the Metro after the launch of NMRC’s (Noida Metro Rail Corporation) 29.7 km Aqua Line in October. The new Metro line will connect the residents of Noida and Greater Noida with the Metro line, while also making Metro travel to the national capital New Delhi easier. The first test run of the Chinese made four-coach train was made on the Acqua line on Tuesday. With the arrival of the Metro, these areas are also likely to see a boost in the economic activity.

However, it will take at least a year before the Aqua line will be directly connected with the Delhi Metro. The Aqua Line and the Blue Line will meet at Sector 70, Noida, through a skywalk. The Blue line extension from Noida City Centre to Electronic City, Sector 62, will, however, be completed by September 2018. Total 11 trains will ply on this Metro corridor.

“The DMRC is currently working on constructing six additional stations to extend the Blue Line from Noida City Centre to Electronic City,” PD Upadhyay, executive director of the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) told Indian Express.

The Aqua Line, being made at the cost of Rs 5,503 crore, will start from Theta (Sector 70) in Greater Noida and will pass through Delta 1, Alpha 1 and 2, Pari Chowk and Knowledge Park 2. It will also connect Noida’s Sectors 149, 144, 137, 81 and 50 among others. The Aqua line, along with other Metro lines like Magenta, Blue Line and Blue Line Extension, will add to the expanding Metro coverage in Noida.

On August 6, the DMRC had launched the new section of Durgabai Deshmukh-Lajpat Nagar in Delhi Metro’s Pink Line. This new 8.1-km stretch is a part of the Delhi Metro Pink Line from Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar.
