"For us, infrastructure is a matter of national building, not politics. Our endeavour is to complete infrastructure project within the stipulated time period."

"Noida International Airport will directly connect a major centre of export with international markets. It will enable farmers of this region to export perishable goods like vegetables, fruits, and fish. It will help MSMEs of western UP to reach foreign markets".

With this airport, Uttar Pradesh is set to become the only state in India to have five international airports.
