Issues

=Poor connectivity =

Reaching the upcoming Noida International Airport (NIA) in Jewar presents a challenge due to its distance from major locations like Delhi and Noida. Current public transport options are limited, but plans are in place to introduce city bus and electric taxi services. Longer-term solutions, such as a rapid rail corridor planned for 2030, are far away. Experts emphasise the importance of comprehensive public transport for the airport's commercial success and financial viability, drawing comparisons with the well-connected IGI and Bengaluru airports.[https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/how-will-i-reach-noida-airport-the-big-question-remains-as-noida-airport-set-to-take-off-in-a-few-months/articleshow/117203298.cms?from=mdr How will I reach Noida airport?], Economic Times, 13 January 2025.

=Ecological threats=

Despite environmental ministry conditions for Noida airport's approval requiring the protection of Dhanauri Wetlands, the Uttar Pradesh government has reportedly ignored these conditions. The wetland has not been designated as a Ramsar Site, its land has been allocated for construction by YEIDA, leading to a reduction in its area, and it remains under threat.{{cite news |last1=Mishra |first1=Dheeraj |date=5 February 2024 |title=15 km from Jewar airport, a wetland awaits protection |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/15-km-from-jewar-airport-a-wetland-awaits-protection-9144286/ |work=The Indian Express |access-date=18 February 2024}}
