Noida: The arrival of the first foreign aircraft at the Noida Airport was indeed a momentous occasion on Tuesday morning, when three Russian military aircraft landed at the recently opened Jewar airport of Greater Noida. The Russian military aircraft had come ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit and in preparation for the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin in India.
According to reports, the first foreign aircraft to land at the Jewar Airport included three Russian military aircraft at about 5:30 AM. The aircraft included one IL-76 military transport aircraft. Russian advance team and military officials arrived in India on the said aircraft.
What made the Noida Airport's first foreign aircraft arrival even more special was the fact that it was Noida Airport’s first foreign aircraft landing in India. Up until now, when there are foreign military delegations visiting India, they have always used the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi.
With the advent of the new airport in Noida and its importance in the preparation for Russia’s arrival for the BRICS Summit, it will be an interesting development to look out for in the coming days.
After landing, all three Russian military planes have been kept parked at the airport. It was reported that the security of the airport, as well as the Russian team, has been keeping watch on the aircraft, along with arranging security measures.
This comes as a result of planning the visit of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to India, as well as the BRICS Summit. The 18th BRICS Summit is going to be held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi on the 12th and 13th of September, wherein many heads of state and government will attend.
This is also an important development in the context of Noida International Airport news, as the airport is gaining the limelight in an international diplomatic mission just as it has started operations.
Jewar airport being used for parking the Russian military planes gives an indication that it is an important point for the management of movements related to an international event. The location of the Jewar airport in Greater Noida also provides yet another aviation facility for the management of movements related to the BRICS Summit.
For the regional aviation and real estate sectors, news coming from the airport continues to attract a lot of attention. The airport has been a key infrastructure development in the Noida-Greater Noida area, and any news concerning it is likely to be a key feature of Jewar airport news.
The arrival of the Russian planes coincided with preparations for the upcoming BRICS Summit in Delhi. Enhanced security measures have been put in place in the national capital before the arrival of the participating leaders.
Noida Airport's first foreign aircraft landing thus comes at an important time for the area. The arrival of the three Russian military planes signals the role that the new airport has played in organizing the important summit.
