Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that passenger flight operations from the Noida International Airport in Jewar will begin on June 15. He described Jewar's transformation from a crime-ridden area to a global investment destination, highlighting the establishment of India's largest airport and the introduction of scheduled flights by IndiGo and Akasa Air. Adityanath praised the region as the 'jewel of India' and noted the influx of major global companies investing in the area, alongside the development of the first Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility in the country.
