Noida International secures aerodrome license

Noida International Airport has received its aerodrome license from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of India, marking a major milestone in the Airport’s journey towards commercial operations. The license certifies that the Airport meets all regulatory requirements related to operational procedures, safety systems, infrastructure, navigation aids, and emergency response as mandated by DGCA’s Civil Aviation Requirements. This development follows the recent approval from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which granted final security vetting for domestic passenger operations as well as domestic and international cargo operations. While the aerodrome license confirms that DXN’s airside infrastructure, flight operations processes, and safety systems comply with the regulatory requirements of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the start of commercial operations will be finalized after approval of the Aerodrome Security Programme by BCAS. Preparations under the airport’s Operational Readiness Activation and Transition (ORAT) programme are continuing to ensure systems, processes, and personnel are fully prepared for a safe and seamless launch. Also, all major infrastructure required for operations is now complete, and essential concessions have been awarded across mobility services, ground handling, in-flight catering, aviation fuel, cargo, retail, food and beverage, and the airport hotel. Communications and navigation systems have also been commissioned.
