Two Terminal Complex

Once completed, the airport will house two passenger terminals. Terminal 1 will have a capacity of 30 million passengers per year and Terminal 2 a capacity of 40 million passengers per year. The terminals will be interconnected to facilitate the transfer for passengers, minimize walking distances and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, the modular development plan will minimize impact on operations during construction. The Interterminal connector is important to ensure flexibility for airlines and their operations.

The first Terminal (T1) will be built in two stages– the first for 12 million passengers per year, the second with an additional capacity for 18 million passengers per year. Terminal 2 will also be built in two stages – with a first stage capacity of 12 million passengers per year and second stage capacity of 18 million passengers per year. The forecourts for both terminals will have direct access to a single Ground Transportation Center.

Delivering the best connecting time

The design of the airport is focusing on low operating costs and seamless and fast transfer processes for domestic–to–domestic passengers as well as for domestic to international transfers and viz versa. NIA will provide sufficient night parking to support the strategic growth of Indian Air Carriers.

NIA is introducing a swing aircraft stand concept, providing flexibility for airlines to operate an aircraft for both domestic and international flights form the same contact stand, without having to re–position the aircraft. This will ensure quick and efficient aircraft turnarounds at the airport, while ensuring a smooth and seamless passenger transfer process – delivering the best connecting time.

Cargo & Logistics Development

NIA has the potential to become a key air cargo gateway for North India. The airport will develop an ecosystem that consists of the state–of–the–art infrastructure and product offerings supported by best– in–class procedures that incorporate Swiss efficiency, simplicity, and quality. The integrated multi–modal cargo hub at NIA will play a crucial role in establishing the state of Uttar Pradesh on the global logistics map.

Multi–modal Connectivity

The NIA masterplan includes provisions for an integrated and seamless road, rail, bus, and metro connectivity. Some of the key strategic connectivity points comprise the metro extension from Noida to NIA as well as an airport station for the planned High Speed Rail Link from Delhi to Varanasi. Yamuna Expressway will also connect NIA to the NCR region and city of Agra that hosts one of the seven wonders of the world – the Taj Mahal.

Ground Transportation Center (GTC)

NIA will develop a multi–modal transit hub at the Ground Transportation Center to provide seamless connectivity between various public and private modes of transport. The GTC will house metro and high–speed rail stations, taxi, bus services and private parking along with large concourse area housing commercial spaces, restaurants, and lounges. The Ground Transportation Centre (GTC) will be a one of its kind, multi–level building structure, located centrally and will be developed in subsequent stages.
 
The GTC will offer a hassle–free experience and seamless transfers between the terminals and different modes of transport for passengers, visitors, and employees.

Real Estate Development

The land use planning reserves 167 acres of land along the main access to airport for real estate development. Development studies are on–going. The real estate land is positioned to benefit from the footfall of the airport and is located close to the transportation centers.

Sustainable Planning

The NIA masterplan has earmarked 8 ha of land to develop a forest park using trees from the project site. It will serve as a space for passengers and visitors to spend their leisure time and become an attractive destination for health/fitness activities as well as for nature–focused recreational activities. This will be a sustainable green grove for the airport. NIA plans to preserve all native species and be nature positive throughout the development of the airport. In line with its aspirations to be a green airport, NIA is committed to provide infrastructure and facilities for 100% electrically powered vehicles at the airport in a phased manner.

General Corporate Aviation

The NIA masterplan also has provision for General Corporate Aviation facilities, including a VVIP terminal, a General Aviation Terminal and Heli taxi pads. These facilities will cater to the needs of state dignitaries, handle private jet movements and helicopters.
