The Noida International Airport in Greater Noida’s Jewar is likely to be inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi on March 28. It is likely to begin operations within few days of the inauguration. If you are wondering
how to reach the Jewar airport from your home in Noida, Greater Noida, or even Delhi, there is no need to worry as the airport is well-connected by several expressways, and plans are afoot to add Metro connectivity as well.
The Jewar airport route from Delhi primarily goes through the Yamuna Expressway, which is currently the fastest option.

In the coming years, Metro and railway links will further improve connectivity to the Noida International Airport.

From Delhi, the most accessible route will be the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, which merges into the Yamuna Expressway.

From Noida, passengers can take the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and seamlessly merge onto the Yamuna Expressway, with the journey expected to take 45 to 60 minutes.

How To Reach Jewar Aiport By Car: Best Routes and Tips
Driving your own car offers the most flexible and direct way to reach the Jewar airport.
Delhi drivers can take the DND Flyway or Kalindi Kunj route to enter Noida, followed by the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and then the Yamuna Expressway. This route is well-maintained, with minimal interruptions and multiple entry-exit points.
From Noida and Greater Noida, the journey is smoother with fewer bottlenecks. The expressways are designed for high-speed travel, but commuters may have to pay toll fees along the Yamuna Expressway.
Parking infrastructure at the airport is expected to be modern and spacious, though final details will depend on operational readiness closer to inauguration.
Reaching Jewar Airport By Cab
For those not being dropped at the airport by family or friends, cab services such as Uber, Ola and Rapido, and local taxi operators are the best option, especially if travelling with luggage.
Cab fares from Delhi could range between Rs 1,200 and Rs 2,000 depending on distance, demand, and time of travel. From Noida and Greater Noida, fares will be significantly lower due to proximity.
Ride-hailing services will likely integrate Jewar Airport as a major destination once operations begin and may even introduce flat rates to and from certain areas.
Public Transport: Coming Soon
While road connectivity is currently the primary mode, several public transport projects are in the pipeline to improve accessibility to the Jewar Airport.
The most-awaited is the direct Metro between Noida and the Jewar Airport. The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has planned a corridor that will connect the airport to the Aqua Line.
In addition, the Delhi-Varanasi high-speed rail corridor is expected to include a station near the airport, further boosting regional connectivity.
There are also plans for a dedicated pod taxi system connecting the airport to nearby urban centers like Greater Noida and Noida Film City. Bus services operated by Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) are also likely to be introduced once the airport becomes operational.
