One patrol vehicle will be deployed at Yamuna Expressway to Jewar Toll to Falaida Cut and another PCR vehicle will be patrolling at the entry and exit point of the NIA,” the officer said.“All vehicles have been equipped with modern security equipment and personnel are briefed for emergency response,” read the official statement.According to senior police officers, the presence of police personnel near the airport will also strengthen the sense of security among the general public. To highlight how the airport’s proximity to the Yamuna Expressway could facilitate business opportunities, officials at the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) pointed to a range of investments in the pipeline. These include a Semiconductor Park, an automobile cluster, and a Medical Device Park — all of which will depend on the Noida International Airport to attract global manufacturers for whom logistics speed is non-negotiable, officials added.Meanwhile, Rakesh Singh, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL), said that the commencement of airport operations was expected to accelerate industrial development in the region.Story continues below this adStressing the importance of the airport in driving economic growth, the CEO said,“In addition to passenger flights, the movement of cargo to destinations across the globe will also become significantly faster.
