Ticket sales for Noida International Airport (IATA: DXN) opened on Thursday, with IndiGo becoming the first airline to accept bookings. The carrier will operate a total of 16 routes from the new airport, five of which start in June and the remaining eleven in July.
The airport’s commercial operations commence on 15 June. The inaugural IndiGo flight (6E 2278) is scheduled to land at 08:05 am, arriving from Lucknow’s Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (Terminal 3) where it departs at 07:05 am. A ticket for the Lucknow‑Noida sector is priced at ₹5,072.
The first outbound flight from Noida will be to Bengaluru, also using flight 6E 2278, taking off at 08:35 am and landing at Kempegowda International Airport at 11:05 am. The same aircraft will return to Noida at 18:20 pm the same day. A return flight to Lucknow is slated for departure from Noida at 18:55 pm.
On the opening day, IndiGo will also operate flights to Hyderabad and Amritsar. From 16 June, a daily service to and from Jammu will be added alongside the existing routes.
From 1 July, IndiGo will introduce daily flights to Navi Mumbai, Srinagar, Jodhpur, Dharamsala, Bhopal, Dehradun, Bareilly, Kishangarh, Jaipur, Pantnagar and Chandigarh. While most routes will run daily, services to Bareilly will operate on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, and those to Kishangarh on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Connections to major cities such as Kolkata and Chennai have not been announced.
IndiGo’s chief strategy officer Aloke Singh said, “NIA will be the new gateway for western Uttar Pradesh, alongside the NCR. Large metropolitan regions of India are maturing to support multiple airports, and IndiGo is proud to contribute to this evolution by serving all three in the NCR — IGI Airport, Hindon and now NIA.”
Shailendra Bhatia, nodal officer for NIAL, the Uttar Pradesh government’s special purpose vehicle for the airport, indicated that Akasa Air and Air India Express will also open bookings within days and are expected to start operations on 16 or 17 June. International flights from Noida are projected to begin in September, and cargo services are slated to start from 15 June.
The airport has cleared several regulatory hurdles ahead of the launch. Last month, expatriate CEO Christoph Schnellmann was replaced after the government denied him security clearance, as Indian nationals must head greenfield airports. Schnellmann moved to the board as executive vice‑chairman, while CFO Nitu Samra was appointed interim CEO. The airport subsequently received approval for its Aerodrome Security Programme from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, confirming compliance with required security frameworks, systems and procedures.
NIAL held a meeting on Thursday to accelerate remaining work, including landscaping of the airport campus with plants, grass, lighting and decorative elements.
