Noida International Airport (NIA) completes a month of operations on Wednesday, and the numbers tell a mixed story: rising flight counts, but airlines already retreating from routes that failed to draw passengers, according to a TOI report by Saurabh Sinha.
The airport's biggest handicap has nothing to do with aviation and everything to do with geography. Sitting roughly 65 km from Noida Sector 18, NIA remains entirely dependent on cabs, and flyers with a choice are simply picking the better-connected IGI Airport instead, the report noted.
