The Noida International Airport will be UP's fifth international airport as well as Asia's largest airport. The airport is a key infrastructure project undertaken by the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in UP, which is gearing up for the Assembly elections next year.
The govt is projecting it as a "gamechanger" for the state, which would become the "logistics gateway of northern India." Meticulous preparations were made for the ceremony. Apart from the massive tent, a lounge for Modi, a helipad & asphalt roads to the venue were also set up.

Tis the season for misleading claims again! As Modi heads to #Jewar to lay the foundation stone for the #NoidaInternationalAirport, politicians are telling us the airport will be the "biggest in Asia". By what yardstick? Not by no of pax, flights or size. A #FactCheck
A top official from Yamuna International Airport Private Limited told me that with all the infrastructure planned for the 40-year concession, the Jewar airport is still not going to be the biggest in Asia. *By 2060* the airport expects to get to 70mn passengers (official PR data)
At least seven Asian airports were handling more than 70mn passengers annually before the pandemic (the level NIA expects to get to by 2060). Moreover, it is not as if passenger traffic at these airports will not grow further.
