Country's Largest Heliport in Noida

Why in news

Recently, Noida Chief Executive Officer Ritu Maheshwari said that the Uttar Pradesh government has approved the proposal to build the country's largest heliport in Noida.

Key Points

  • It is worth mentioning that the DPR, design and many other formalities of the heliport project have already been approved by the state government. The Noida Development Administration has been working on this project for the last 5 years.
  • This heliport will be built on 9.35 acres in Sector-151A of Noida on Public Private Partnership (PPP model) and will cost Rs 43.13 crore.
  • For the construction of the heliport company will be searched through a global tender. The company that built it will be entrusted with the responsibility of operating this heliport for the next 30 years.
  • Noida Heliport will be constructed on the lines of Jewar International Airport. For this, the Noida Development Authority will provide the land only.
  • The use of this heliport in Noida will be multi-purpose. Commercial flights (for which Bell-412 helicopters are used) will also be carried out from here. These helicopters can carry 12 passengers.
  • The world's largest helicopter Mi-172 used for the movements of VVIPs will also be able to land-takeoff here. The capacity of these helicopters is to bring or carry 26 passengers. Noida Heliport has been designed keeping in mind the requirements of these large helicopters.
  • It is noteworthy that the place where the helicopter is parked is called a helipad and where there are one or more helipads, that area is called a heliport.
