SATS, a Singapore-based gateway services provider, and Air India SATS, a joint venture between sats and Air India, have signed a concession agreement with Yamuna International Airport to establish a cargo terminal at India's newest airport, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The plan involves developing an integrated multimodal cargo hub at Noida International Airport, located in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, southeast of New Delhi, the capital of India.
Noida International Airport is being constructed by Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), a subsidiary of Zurich Airport International, in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh and Indian governments.
The aim of the new airport is to alleviate congestion at New Delhi's existing airports, including the three-runway Indira Gandhi International Airport, situated southwest of the city.
Initially slated to open around 2008, Noida International Airport faced numerous delays due to political factors. However, construction began in 2018 with full support from the central government.
The plan is to inaugurate a two-runway airport by the end of 2024, along with the establishment of the new cargo hub. Eventually, Noida International Airport will expand to six runways, covering an area of 7,200 acres, making it the largest airport in India, Asia and the fourth-largest in the world.
There is also a proposal to construct two additional runways, bringing the total to eight, pending land availability.
Air India SATS will be responsible for designing, building, and operating the new cargo hub, which is expected to span 87 acres.
Furthermore, a new highway is currently under construction to connect the airport with the leading road network in India.
SATS offers comprehensive cargo handling services at its base in Changi, Singapore, including an e-fulfilment platform for e-commerce shipments and facilities for the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods.
