India, March 28 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first phase of the Noida International Airport in Uttar Pradesh's Jewar on Saturday. Once fully completed, the airport is expected to become India's largest, with both domestic and international flight operations.

The Noida airport project has faced multiple delays since it was announced. It was initially slated for inauguration in September 2024, but the timeline was pushed back twice before the eventual launch on March 28, 2026.

Commercial flight operations at the airport are expected to begin between mid-April and May 2026, according to reports, while international flights are likely to start from September 2026 onwards.
