IndiGo and Air India have raised significant concerns regarding the high operational costs and poor connectivity at Noida Airport, recently inaugurated in Uttar Pradesh, India. IndiGo reported that the proposed domestic aircraft landing charges at Noida are 119% higher than those at Delhi Airport, while the user development fee is 406% higher. This could lead to increased airfares, making the airport less attractive for airlines. IndiGo estimates that operating costs could rise by approximately ₹1.88 lakh (about $2,260 USD) per flight, potentially leading to an annual increase of around ₹103 crore (roughly $12.4 million USD) if 15 daily round trips are conducted. Air India echoed these concerns, emphasizing that without adequate public transport and ground connectivity, corporate traffic will likely continue to favor the more accessible Delhi Airport. The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) is currently reviewing the proposed tariffs for the airport's operational period from 2026 to 2031. Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), which operates Noida Airport, defended its pricing strategy, claiming it aligns with other airports in India and reflects the value provided in terms of infrastructure and passenger experience.
