Delhi NCR now joins a select group of global megacities served by multiple airports. For IndiGo, the privilege of being the launch carrier at NIA is more than a commercial milestone; it is a commitment to western Uttar Pradesh, to the broader Delhi NCR, and the millions of travellers for whom this gateway opens new possibilities. We are proud to be here from day one.”

Christoph Schnellmann, Vice Chairman, Noida International Airportsaid, "Welcoming IndiGo's first flights marks the beginning of a new chapter for Noida International Airport.
