Noida International Airport (Jewar): AISATS commits investment for cargo and catering facilities
Change
Uttar Pradesh signed an MoU with AISATS for ₹4,458 crore to build a cargo campus and air-catering kitchen at Noida International Airport (Jewar), alongside a separate MoU with Singapore Cooperation Enterprise on institutional capacity and policy frameworks.
Why it matters
AISATS’ ₹4,458 crore MoU covers two aviation services projects at the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar: an advanced cargo campus and a world-class air catering kitchen. This adds defined third-party delivery scope for cargo handling and airline catering infrastructure that will shape operational readiness and service availability once the airport comes online. The second MoU—between Invest UP and Singapore Cooperation Enterprise—sets a long-term strategic partnership focused on institutional capacity, policy frameworks, and ecosystem development, potentially changing the state’s implementation bandwidth and governance processes for investment and sector programs. The agreements were signed during CM Yogi Adityanath’s Singapore visit, positioning them as executed investment outcomes rather than exploratory talks.
Implications
- • Jewar airport’s cargo and catering capacity now has a named investor and project scope
- • Airport-linked logistics and airline catering vendors face a clearer competitive landscape
- • UP’s policy/program execution may shift via a formal Singapore Cooperation Enterprise tie-up
- • Coordination dependencies increase among airport developer, AISATS, airlines, and regulators
Who is affected
- • AISATS and its aviation services supply chain (cargo handling, catering equipment, cold chain)
- • Noida International Airport (Jewar) project stakeholders (airport operator/developer, contractors)
- • Airlines and freight forwarders planning operations at Jewar
- • Uttar Pradesh government agencies (Invest UP and relevant departments)
