Commercial operations at the Noida international airport will begin in the next 45 to 60 days, according to civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu.
The services can only start after the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) issues the airport security program (ASP), a comprehensive security blueprint detailing access control, perimeter security, security screening, and emergency contingency plans.
Without ASP, Airport Entry Pass (AEP) cannot be granted, officials said.
Shailendra Bhatia, nodal officer of the Noida International Airport Limited, confirmed that operations will be started in the next 45 days.
The airport will initially operate with one runway for domestic and cargo flights, with international flights to be started later.
