Jewar airport likely to handle 10 cr passengers by 2050: PwC report

The proposed international airport at Jewar in Greater Noida, which got the final nod on Monday, is expected to handle over 10 crore passengers by 2050, PwC, the agency which prepared the techno-economic feasibility report for the airport, has projected.

It said 88 per cent of Jewar airport traffic would be domestic and 15 per cent international, adding that adjoining districts of Uttar Pradesh such as Agra and Gautam Buddha Nagar would be the main contributors to the fliers volume to the airport. It’s likely that the passengers can take flights from the airport to international destinations such as London, Abh Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Katmandu and Bangkok apart from flying to key domestic destinations, the report said.
