Noida International Airport marked a milestone with a successful A320 test landing. Slated to open in April 2025, this second major airport in the NCR will handle 12 million passengers initially, expanding to 70 million. The project, a public-private partnership, boosts Uttar Pradesh’s aviation sector and promises enhanced regional connectivity

Noida International Airport (NIA) has reached a crucial milestone with the successful completion of its validation flight, paving the way for its planned opening in 2025. The flight, operated by IndiGo, was a key test of the airport’s approach procedures, navigational systems, and air traffic control capabilities, confirming that NIA meets the stringent safety and operational standards required for commercial flights.

The validation flight is a critical step in the aerodrome licensing process. During the test, an Airbus A320 was used to verify the airport’s Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and Instrument Landing System (ILS) procedures. These systems are essential for ensuring precise navigation and safe landings, enabling aircraft to follow highly accurate flight paths and enhancing operational reliability.

This achievement follows months of detailed preparations, including the calibration of NIA’s ILS and Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) systems in October, overseen by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). In addition, simulator trials of the RNP procedures further validated the airport’s readiness, ensuring it meets the highest safety benchmarks.

Christoph Schnellmann, CEO of Noida International Airport, expressed his pride in the milestone, stating, “The successful completion of the validation flight is a significant achievement for our team. It reflects the dedication and meticulous planning that has gone into ensuring NIA is prepared for commercial operations. We are excited for the opening and look forward to welcoming passengers.”

With the validation flight completed, the next phase of the process involves submitting the necessary documentation for aerodrome certification to the DGCA. This final step will clear the way for the NIA to begin commercial operations. The airport’s strict adherence to safety protocols during this phase is vital in securing the necessary approvals.

As Schnellmann concluded, “This is just the beginning. We are committed to setting new standards for operational excellence and passenger experience in India as we move toward opening Noida International Airport.”
