Uttar Pradesh In India Becomes The First State To Achieve This Milestone!

Highlighting the swift progress in the aviation sector, Uttar Pradesh is poised to be the first state in India with 21 airports, as mentioned by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday (Feb 7, 2024).

“In the state, there has been continuous infrastructure development in land, water, and air sectors. Uttar Pradesh is on track to achieve the distinction of having 21 airports,” stated the Chief Minister in the state assembly.

Over the past nine years, the aviation infrastructure in the state has experienced significant growth, according to Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, who shared in January that Uttar Pradesh had only six airports in 2014.

Presently, the state boasts ten airports, including the recently inaugurated one in Ayodhya (AYJ).

By the coming month, Uttar Pradesh is set to add five more airports, with one in each of Azamgarh, Aligarh, Moradabad, Shravasti, and Chitrakoot. Additionally, an international airport in Jewar is expected to be operational by the end of 2024, as mentioned by Scindia in January 2024.

The expansion of Noida International Airport signifies a significant step forward in enhancing air connectivity and infrastructure in the region. With the completion of each phase, the airport is poised to meet the growing demands of travelers and contribute to the area’s economic development.
