The union government had given site clearance approval for the project on July 5, 2017. The union home ministry had also given a no-objection certificate (NOC) for the project on October 5, 2017. Jewar in Greater Noida, will become the second airport in the National Capital Region (NCR). The government expects the airport to be operational in the next five to six years and would see an investment of about Rs 20,000 crores.

The international airport is billed to cater to 30-50 million passengers per year, over the next 10-15 years. The area notified for the Noida Airport is 3,000 hectares and the first phase will be developed in 1,000 hectares. The civil aviation ministry expects this airport to give a boost to connectivity in the whole of western Uttar Pradesh, which will, in turn, bolster tourism and economic potential of the region. This airport will not just address the aviation needs of Delhi, but also cities like Agra, Mathura, Bulandshahr and Meerut.
The proposal for an airport in Jewar was made in 2001, when the current home minister Rajnath Singh was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. His successor Mayawati, also backed the plan and acquired more than 2,000 acres for the project. The erstwhile UPA government at the centre then formed a group of ministers to decide on the project, as it violated a policy guideline prohibiting building of another airport within 150 kms of the existing one in Delhi. The plan was revived after Mahesh Sharma, who represents Noida in the Lok Sabha, became the union minister of state for civil aviation.
