NIA Expands Connectivity with New UPSRTC Direct Routes

Noida International Airport (NIA) is steadily emerging as a key transportation hub, enhancing regional connectivity across Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states. With a focus on providing seamless and reliable travel for passengers, NIA is expanding its ground transport network through strategic collaborations with state transport authorities.

As part of this ongoing effort, NIA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) to introduce direct bus services from the airport to major cultural, religious, and economic destinations such as Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Agra, Aligarh, Mathura – Vrindavan and  Hathras. These services will ensure easy, convenient access for travellers arriving at or departing from the airport.

Key routes under this partnership include:

• NIA – Mathura – Vrindavan – NIA: Connecting passengers to the holy cities of Mathura and Vrindavan
• NIA – Agra – NIA: Providing direct access to the historic city of Agra
• NIA – Hathras – NIA: Linking the airport to the major city of Hathras
• NIA – Aligarh – NIA: Connecting the airport to Aligarh; renowned for its academic institutions and manufacturing industry.

The network will also extend to destinations including Bulandshahr, Farrukhabad, Firozabad, Hapur, Hathras, Moradabad, and Shikohabad, offering broad coverage across Uttar Pradesh and ensuring last-mile connectivity for passengers.

Christoph Schnellmann, CEO, Noida International Airport, said, “We are delighted to partner with UPSRTC to make travel to and from Noida International Airport even more convenient. Seamless ground connectivity is essential to delivering a superior passenger experience, and this partnership ensures that travellers can reach important cities and towns across Uttar Pradesh with ease. As we move closer to welcoming our first passengers, such initiatives reflect our commitment to accessibility, convenience, and regional integration.”

Noida International Airport extends its gratitude to the Government of Uttar Pradesh for its continued guidance and support in strengthening regional connectivity. We thank the Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) Transport, Shri Daya Shankar Singh and the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Department for the proactive collaboration in making this initiative a reality.

This collaboration builds on NIA’s existing partnerships with state transport agencies, including Haryana Roadways, Uttarakhand Transport Corporation, and the Delhi Transport Corporation. These partnerships enable direct bus connectivity to major urban centres such as Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Haridwar, and more expanding the airport’s reach well beyond the state of Uttar Pradesh.

Through these combined efforts, Noida International Airport is now connected to over 25 cities across four states, creating a robust multimodal transport network that supports both domestic and international travel. As the airport progresses toward operational readiness, ensuring seamless access through a wide range of public transport options remains a key priority in making NIA a gateway to the region.

In its first phase of the airport, with one runway and one terminal, it will have the capacity to handle 12 million passengers annually. Upon completion of the fourth phase, the airport will be equipped to manage 70 million passengers per year, making it a major hub for the region.
