Noida Airport seeks suitable partner to create world-class cargo hub near Delhi

The Noida International Airport (NIA) is scouting for a suitable partner to create world-class warehousing and logistics facilities at Jewar, the site of the upcoming international airport near Greater Noida.

In February, the airport concessionaire Yamuna International Airport Pvt. Ltd (YIAPL) had solicited bids for designing, financing, building and transferring of integrated cargo terminal and integrated warehousing and logistics zone at Jewar through a Request for Proposal (RFP).

 Although details about bidders or the number of bids received have not been disclosed at this stage, the spokesperson for the concessionaire confirmed about the search.

“We’re looking for a partner or a group of partners with whom to develop the air cargo and logistics environment to provide cargo terminals, cargo handling as well as space for warehousing for distribution,” informed CEO YIAPL, ChristophSchnellmann.

YIAPL is a subsidiary of Flughafen Zürich, the operator of Zurich Airport in Switzerland.

In the first phase of what would be the country’s largest airport once it’s ready by September 2024, more than 80 acres of land has been set aside on the eastern side for a large warehousing and logistics facility.

To enhance connectivity, work will shortly start on an interchange to connect Yamuna Expressway to the airport site. This will be part of the 56 km Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) Expressway that will also be connected to Gurugram.
