By Samira Vishwas

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the first phase of Asia’s largest airport on Saturday afternoon. PM Modi inaugurated Phase-1 of Noida International Airport, Jewar at 12.30 pm. After the inauguration of the first phase, it will be the second largest airport in Asia. After completion of four phases, it will become Asia’s largest airport.

PM Modi addressed the gathering

After inaugurating the first phase of the airport, PM Modi also addressed the gathering. He started his speech at 12.36 pm. He said that the inauguration has taken place? No, only half the work is done. I have just removed the curtain. I want all of you to inaugurate this airport. So take out your phones and inaugurate the event by lighting the flash. This trust is yours. You have a future. It is your effort. You people should say Bharat Mata ki Jai and show the flash light. Now the inauguration is done.

PM Modi said- youth are full of enthusiasm

In the program, PM Modi said that wherever my eyes fall, all the youth are visible. Everyone is full of enthusiasm. Are full of enthusiasm. The youth know that the work that is being done is a work that will give a new lease of life to the future of the youth. We are starting a new chapter of developed UP and developed India. The largest state of the country has today become one of the states with the highest number of international airports in the country.

I had the privilege of inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of this airport – PM Modi

The PM said that there are two reasons for my happiness and pride, one is that you people gave me the privilege of laying the foundation stone of this airport and now you also gave me the privilege of inaugurating it. I have added my good fortune to you by sharing it with the people, now the name of this grand airport has also been associated with the identity of Uttar Pradesh which has made me an MP.

The plane flying from here will become a symbol of the flight of developed Uttar Pradesh – PM Modi

PM Modi said that Meerut, Ghaziabad, Etawah, Agra, Bulandshahr, Mathura etc. are going to get huge benefits from this airport of Noida. This airport will open new opportunities for farmers, small industries and youth of western Uttar Pradesh. The plane flying from here will become a symbol of the flight of developed Uttar Pradesh. I congratulate the people of Western Uttar Pradesh for this.

Targeted at Congress government

PM Modi also targeted the previous governments. He said that the previous governments had turned Western UP into an ATM for loot. The BJP government has made Noida an engine of development. A flight will fly from here every two minutes. Atal ji had given permission for this airport in the year 2003 itself. At that time many people might not have even been born but the airport was not built.

The PM further said that the Congress government at the Center did not allow the foundation of this airport to be laid for years. From 2004 to 2014, it remained buried in the airport files. After our government was formed, the Uttar Pradesh government did not allow work on it. As soon as our government came to power in UP, the foundation of Jewar Airport was laid. Its construction was also done and now it has also started.

Before 2014, there were 74 airports in the country, today there are 160 – PM Modi

The PM said that the airport in any country is not just an operational facility. This airport gives flight to progress. Before 2014, there were only 74 airports in the country. Today there are more than 160 airports. Today, air connectivity is reaching small cities along with metros. The number of airports in UP has increased to 17. Earlier air travel was only for the rich but under the BJP government common people are also traveling by air.

After becoming PM, when I was about to come to Noida, I was intimidated – PM Modi

PM Modi said that Noida was earlier left to its fate due to superstition. Those in power did not come here for fear of losing their power. When I was coming here after becoming the Prime Minister, an attempt was made to scare me that you had just become the PM. But I came to seek the blessings of this holy land. I express my gratitude to the farmers of this area who have donated their lands. Give them a big applause.

Airport will be built in 52 square km

In the first phase, a terminal and runway have been built on 3,300 acres. With one runway, this terminal can handle three crore passengers annually. The cost of construction of the first phase is Rs 11 thousand crores. This airport will be built in 52 square kilometers. At present, China’s Beijing Daxing International Airport is the largest airport in Asia, which is spread over 47 square km.

Airport will be completed by 2040

Let us tell you, the deadline for completion of the airport is 2040. Officials say that flights can start from this airport from May. The most important thing about this airport is that boarding can be done in less than 20 minutes after entry.
