Even before the Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport) becomes operational, the push to connect it with the capital and its neighbouring areas has picked up pace. On one side, the Delhi government is planning a direct AC bus link to the airport; on the other, the central government is preparing to lay down a web of elevated roads to bring speed back to choked routes. The aim is clear — once the airport opens and lakhs of passengers begin moving across the NCR, their travel should be cheap, fast and hassle-free.
A direct AC bus from Delhi to Jewar
According to Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) officials, the Delhi–Jewar route has been placed among the new interstate corridors where 12-metre-long AC buses are planned. The service will not be limited to air travellers alone — people who commute across the NCR every day are expected to benefit too. Officials say that while finalising the route, three factors were kept in mind: the likely number of passengers, existing traffic, and regional connectivity.
New buses for other NCR cities
Besides Delhi–Jewar, the DTC is planning to launch bus services on several other interstate routes, including one such as the Nanaksar Delhi–Ghaziabad bus terminal route. The government's assessment is that these routes will make movement between Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan easier and give travellers a dependable public-transport option.
Elevated corridors to reach the airport
Alongside the bus service, the central government is working on major road projects to reduce congestion in the NCR and make the airport easier to reach. Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Harsh Malhotra said the Centre and the Delhi government are working together to give the capital relief from traffic jams.
The proposed projects include:
- An elevated corridor from Sarai Kale Khan to Sohna
- An elevated road from Faridabad to Jewar
- A ₹650 crore elevated road project at Kalindi Kunj
Once completed, these projects are expected to make travel between Delhi, Noida, Faridabad and Jewar Airport far quicker and smoother than it is today.
Why the Kalindi Kunj project stands out
According to the government, the ₹650 crore elevated road coming up at Kalindi Kunj could make travel between Delhi, Noida and Faridabad largely signal-free. In plain terms, that means relief from jams for the thousands who use this stretch daily, and less time to reach the airport.
Why Jewar Airport's connectivity matters
Passenger numbers are likely to rise sharply the moment Noida International Airport opens. That makes both a strong road network and better public transport critically important. The direct AC bus service will offer travellers an affordable and comfortable option, while the new elevated roads will help ease the pressure on the NCR's busiest routes.
