This aviation hub will offer paperless and contactless services across all checkpoints in line to its passengers. Not only will such an airport eliminate long lines for ID verification, it will also save the effort of printing tickets and boarding passes and fishing them out at multiple checkpoints. The first airport in India to facilitate it is Yamuna International Airport Private (YIAPL), which is coming up at Jewar. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What’s a digital airport?" comment="subhead" text="What’s a digital airport?">What’s a digital airport?</cmsannotation> A digital airport would have a one-time verification at the checkpoints for the first time using the ID. This will be stored in DigiYatra ID. After the one-tie verification, the passengers will undergo automatic digital processing based on facial recognition system at checkpoints like; entry-point check, entry into security check, and aircraft boarding. Additionally, this will also facilitate self-bag drop and check-in, using facial recognition to identify pax and data recall. Digi Yatra will facilitate paperless travel and avoid identity check at multiple points. To accomplish this, NIA selected global technology firm <keyword id="4553387" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="icad" source="Orion">ICAD</keyword> Holding as its master system integrator (MSI) consultant and partnered with Indian IT major <keyword id="10862" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wipro" source="Orion">Wipro</keyword> which will act as a sub-consultant to the global tech company. An MSI enables all the technical systems, with all of their disparate parts and pieces to work cohesively and work as designed, throughout its lifespan. ICAD will support NIA with the systems integration design, integration programme management and integration of ICT and airport systems. It will also lead the core airport systems implementation and integration. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Hassle-free and paperless" comment="subhead" text="Hassle-free and paperless">Hassle-free and paperless</cmsannotation> These digital services will be in line with the central government’s DigiYatra policy. Released by the Ministry of Civil Aviation in 2018, the initiative seeks to promote paperless and hassle-free air travel. “India is an emerging market and we at the ICAD Group will work closely with YIAPL and other airport companies, Airports Authority of India (AAI) to deliver signature airport projects in India through the Indian subsidiary,” said Ghassan Sayegh, group CEO, ICAD. The airport project is all set to complete by December 2024, said Feroz Mehdi, director at ICAD said at the press conference. The airport will also be environment friendly with zero-emissions. It intends to maximize the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power, and implement processes for water treatment and recycling. The airport also aspires to be a ‘green airport’ as it promised to preserve all the native species.

Wipro, ICAD to create India's first digital airport — here are its features

Lucknow, Dec 16 () The conditional letter of award pertaining to the Noida International Greenfield Airport, Jewar, was handed over to CEO of Zurich Airport International AG Daniel Bircher on Monday here, the UP government said.
"In the presence of the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, conditional letter of award pertaining to the Noida International Greenfield Airport, Jewar, was handed over to CEO of Zurich Airport International AG Daniel Bircher by UP Chief Secretary RK Tiwari," it said in a statement.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the development of the airport will be done in a time-bound manner.
On Dec 9, the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved Zurich Airport International as developer for Jewar airport.
The formal approval of the Uttar Pradesh government comes after a bidding process in which Zurich Airport beat Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Adani Enterprises and Anchorage Infrastructure Investments Holdings Limited on Nov 29.
The winning bid was then put up before the project monitoring and implementation committee (PMIC) of the state government, before being forwarded to the Cabinet.
"Four bids had come for the airport. On the basis of weighted averages, Zurich Airport International was chosen," UP minister Siddharth Nath Singh had then said.
The Swiss firm offered a premium of Rs 400.97 per passenger to the government, the highest among the bidders. "We are of the view that the construction work for Jewar airport will begin in February next year," the minister had said.
The airport in Gautam Buddh Nagar district will be the third in the National Capital Region after Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and Ghaziabad's Hindon.
The Jewar Airport or the Noida International Greenfield Airport will be spread over 5,000 hectares when fully built at an estimated to cost Rs 29,560 crore, officials have said.
It is expected to have six to eight runways, the maximum at an airport in India, when fully built. The first phase of the airport would be spread over 1,334 hectares and completed by 2023,, according to officials.
 Zurich Airport AG is currently involved in eight airports in Latin America. NAV ABH

These reforms announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will benefit both airline operators like IndiGo and SpiceJet, as well as developers like GMR, GVK, and Adani Group. <div type="image" title="indigo." msid="75775924" hostid="261"></div> <div type="image" title="spicejet." msid="75775928" hostid="261"></div> The government estimates airlines will save about ₹1,000 crore a year by flying shorter routes. “60% of the Indian airspace is freely available, because it is fairly restricted for civil and defence purposes, so we have been taking longer routes. This has to be rationalised for optimum utilization of time and fuel. Customers can get to their destinations quicker and cheaper,” Sitharaman said. More airport projects up for grabs The second step taken was that six more airports will be put up for auction by the Airports Authority of India and will be built on public private spaces. “Additional investments will be made by private players in 12 airports where investments are already present. The financial implications will be on the AAI. The first and second round of investments to get ₹13,000 crore,” said Sitharaman. India currently has several airport projects under construction – the Jewar international airport in Greater Noida, the Mopa Airport in Goa, Navi Mumbai international airport in Maharashtra, Sabarimala airport in Kerala among others. In April 2020, GMR got the go-ahead for the Bhogapuram airport in Andhra Pradesh. In February 2019, the Adani Group won a tender to operate all six government-owned Indian airports located in Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Mangaluru, Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), Lucknow, and Guwahati. Making India an airline maintenance hub Another major investment was Sitharaman’s bid to make India an MRO hub – Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul. “Most Indian aircrafts go abroad for their repair works and spend there. But India has all the capacity – manpower and soft skills to set up an MRO hub here. India can be the centre for many of the flights for South East Asia as well as westwards,” she said. This will be a major step that we want to make sure India benefits from, she added. Not just the civil sector but defence aircrafts will also benefit from it. Through this, maintenance will also be cheaper for the aviation sector. The issue the MRO industry used to face because of the aircraft used to fly to other countries for repair. "In India we have a promising civil aviation sector, so we want the MRO sector to be located in India and much of the repair work should be done here. The problem they used to face was competitiveness was in GST. GST rate used to be 18%, so the meeting held in March the rate has been brought down to 5% with full input tax credit and that is something that will make the MRO industry very competitive," said the government. The coronavirus pandemic has left the Indian airlines sector stranded on the runway. All domestic and international flights have been suspended ever since the lockdown. “It will take 2-3 years for air travel to return to 2019 levels and a few more years to return to long-term growth trends according to Boeing,” said a Centrum Broking report last week. The <keyword id="34987" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="aviation-industry">aviation industry</keyword> is staring at losses to the tune of ₹25,000 crore, according to a CRISIL report. “These are preliminary estimates, and aggregate losses could increase if the lockdown is extended beyond the first quarter. As and when operations resume, overall operational capacity will hover at 50-60% for the rest of the fiscal. Consequently, mergers and acquisitions of airlines, and relook at expansion plans of private and upcoming greenfield airports would be possibilities," <a href="https://www.livemint.com/news/india/covid-19-impact-indian-aviation-may-incur-rs-25-000-crore-losses-says-crisil-11588838896045.html">said Jagannarayan Padmanabhan</a>, director and practice leader, transport &amp; logistics, Crisil Infrastructure Advisory. <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/will-the-aviation-industry-recover-from-the-pandemic/article31359708.ece">Globally</a>, the industry’s revenues could be cut by $252 billion in 2020.

Lucknow, Feb 18 () The Uttar Pradesh government in its Budget 2020-21, presented in the state Assembly on Tuesday, has laid emphasis on developing metro networks, airports and expressways, besides fixing a target to build four lakh houses for weaker sections by March 2021."A target of constructing 4 lakh houses for weaker sections has been fixed by March 2021.

The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=chandigarh+airport&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Chandigarh International Airport</a>, which was built at the tune of Rs 1400 crore, has failed to start international flight operations.

	This <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=international+airport&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">international airport</a> was inaugurated with much fanfare and was supposed to handle pressure of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=indira+gandhi+international+airport&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi</a>, which is just 250 kilometres from Chandigarh.

	However, it did not attract anyone and now the airport is under scanner of the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=punjab+and+haryana+high+court&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Punjab and Haryana High Court</a>.
 “Delhi’s <keyword id="89772" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indira-Gandhi-International-Airport">Indira Gandhi International airport</keyword> is capable enough to handle the rising growth of air traffic. As of now, the total terminal passenger capacity at the IGI Airport is 62 million passengers per annum against the actual traffic of approx. 41 million passengers handled in the FY 2014-15,” said an official.

	“As per the master plan IGI Airport is expected to handle 109 million passengers in the year 2034. This would be adequate to meet the likely traffic demands over the next 18-20 years,” he said.

	Now, the Uttar Pradesh government recently sought approval from the Indian government for an international airport in Greater Noida’s Jewar, which is around 84 kilometres away from Delhi.

	“Huge investment has already been made for expansion of the passenger handling capacity and modernisation at IGI Airport Now, a new airport within 84 km radius is sheer wastage of public money,” said the official.

	India has spent more than $50 million since 2009 on eight airports that do not receive scheduled flights - white elephants that are a reminder of the pitfalls for Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he bets on an infrastructure drive to fuel growth.

	Even Jaisalmer airport met the same fate as after two-and-a-half years of completion, it has no flight operations.

	The proposal for an airport in Jewar was first mooted in 2001 by Rajnath Singh, the then chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. His successor Mayawati also backed the plan and acquired more than 2,000 acres for the proposed airport.

YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh told IANS that these companies have already deposited 10 per cent of the proposed allocation for land in Sector 29 under the <keyword id="766731" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="yamuna-authority" source="Orion">Yamuna Authority</keyword> near the upcoming Jewar airport in Greater Noida. "Seiko Advance Limited, an ink manufacturing company, expressed its desire to make its product on 5 acres of land in Sector 29 of YEIDA," Singh informed. Seiko Advance Limited alone will invest Rs 850 crore and provide employment to thousands of people, he added. Sector 29 is well-developed with several available facilities for companies. The Apple suppliers, along with a known camera parts maker, proposed to set up a unit on about 23 acres of land with a proposed investment of Rs 2,800 crore. Singh told IANS that Apple suppliers proposed the investment at a recently-held meeting in South Korea. Seiko Advance creates ink for devices like the iPhones. Apple CEO Tim Cook had visited the company in 2019, when he had said that the 'Midnight Green' colour dye was "only made by high-quality control and craftsmanship" at its plant. Meanwhile, Apple is fast forwarding its manufacturing plans in India and Vietnam in the wake of unrest in China over zero-Covid policy which has severely disrupted its supply chain, leading to an acute shortage of new iPhone 14 Pro models. The Wall Street Journal had earlier reported that the company is "telling its suppliers to plan more actively for assembling Apple products elsewhere in Asia, particularly in India and Vietnam" in order to "reduce dependence on Taiwanese assemblers led by Foxconn". The China upheaval, which hit its key supplier Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory last month, resulting in violent protests, means "Apple no longer feels comfortable having so much of its business tied up in one place", the report said, citing analysts and people in the Apple supply chain. Apple aims to ship 40-45 per cent of iPhones from India compared to a single-digit percentage currently, according to analyst Ming-chi Kuo. Every fourth iPhone will be made in India by 2025, according to J.P. Morgan. In a fillip to India's thrust on local manufacturing, Apple had earlier this year kicked off production of new iPhone 14 in India, a first for the tech giant as it narrows down the manufacturing period of new iPhones in the country to cut dependence on China. Buoyed by the ease-of-doing business and friendly local manufacturing policies, Apple's 'Make in India' iPhones will potentially account for close to 85 per cent of its total iPhone production for the country this year, according to industry experts. Apple first started manufacturing iPhones in India in 2017, with iPhone SE. The tech giant manufactures some of its most advanced iPhones in the country, including iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 at the Foxconn facility, while iPhone SE and iPhone 12 are being assembled at the Wistron factory in the country.

Apple suppliers to invest ₹2,800 cr in UP as iPhone maker to move more manufacturing to India

Lucknow, June 30 (IANS) Microsoft India will set up its campus in Uttar Pradesh, giving a major boost to the state's efforts to bring in investments. This will ensure employment to about 4,000 persons in the state. An agreement through a virtual discussion has been reached between Microsoft India managing director, Rajiv Kumar, and UP MSME minister Sidharth Nath Singh. The Microsoft team will soon make a site visit. According to the minister, "The government had earlier said that it will make it simpler for investors willing to acquire land within 1 km distance on each side of the state's expressways.
