Civil aviation is an area of great potential in terms of generating employment and ensuring economic prosperity. With the establishment of Jewar Airport, the industrial infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh will be augmented and will create more investment opportunities besides giving impetus to the tourism sector. The Jewar airport will be connected with high speed rail, while the Indira Gandhi Airport would be connected to it by road and metro rail. Site clearance from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, and approval for immigration services from the Ministry of Home Affairs and NOC from the Ministry of Environment were completed in a time bound manner. Further work for the airport will also start within the stipulated time frame. In the last four years, Uttar Pradesh has taken a big stride in the field of civil aviation and the Jewar Airport will become a matter of global identity for Uttar Pradesh.
