The land allocated for the construction of Jewar airport, located in the namesake city, will see men at work, toiling to give shape to the biggest airport in India. Reportedly, the Uttar Pradesh state government has given directions to the concerned departments to begin the job of building the airport before 2019.
The airport has been designed so as to accommodate the main structure as well as the allied services near it. In the first phase, the airport will be built, and in the later phases, allied services such as Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) will be added, as told by Prabhat Kumar, chairman of Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA).
"The aim is to provide maximum connectivity to the upcoming airport from various places in the NCR," YEIDA chief executive officer Arun Vir Singh told a news portal.
The YEIDA officials have also revealed to the press that the Jewar airport will also connect to the Yamuna expressway, and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway.
YEIDA has suggested three courses in the NCR that includes connecting the 165-km long Yamuna Expressway, which links Greater Noida and Agra, and also of Palwal-Khurja expressway, with Jewar airport.
The Jewar airport construction is expected to be functional after five to six years.
