There was speculation about the inauguration of the airport for the last one month. The Union Civil Aviation Minister further fueled speculations of an early inauguration by announcing at a function held at Hindon Airport that operations from Jewar Airport will begin from October 30. Due to recent rains and festive holidays in October, the construction work of the airport has been delayed. Moreover, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has not yet issued an airport license to the Noida airport, making the inauguration of the airport in October not possible. The inauguration could take place in November. The construction agency has been given a target to complete all ongoing work at the airport by October 30. During the recent inspection of the airport by Additional Chief Secretary Deepak Kumar, the construction agencies promised to complete all the work on time. Sources claim that after the work is completed, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself may inspect the airport in November and then seek time from the Prime Minister for the inauguration. If for some reason the inauguration is not possible in November, then the government is preparing to give the gift to operate the Noida airport in January.
