Noida International Airport starts commercial operations with first IndiGo flight

Noida International Airport in Jewar has begun commercial operations, with IndiGo’s first passenger service arriving from Lucknow on 15 June 2026. The opening moves the greenfield airport from project phase to live scheduled service, with initial domestic routes also planned to Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Amritsar.

The launch gives Delhi-NCR and western Uttar Pradesh a second major commercial gateway and creates a new node for passenger flow, cargo handling and network build-out. The airport’s phased ramp-up is designed to absorb regional demand now and scale toward a much larger hub profile later.
