Noida airport begins commercial operations Monday with 12 daily flights in June scaling to 40-42 by July; international services launch later this year. Greenfield airport targets 5 million passengers in year one, opening new airport-retail surface in western UP.

Why this matters

Follows June 15 Jewar opening with cabs-only access and Rs 800-1,600 Delhi fares. High UDF clearance (4x Delhi) raises questions on pax volumes for Zurich-run hub's retail concourse.

Footfall signals steady at 180 over 90 days, with Jewar emerging as a new western UP demand node.
