Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has finalised arrangements to supply aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to the upcoming Noida International Airport (NIA) at Jewar in Uttar Pradesh.
The state-owned oil major entered into an agreement with Noida Airport on 20 February 2024 to lay a dedicated ATF pipeline, connecting its Piyala Terminal to the airport's tank farm, facilitating seamless fuel supply for aviation operations.
The dedicated ATF pipeline spans over 34 kilometres, extending 1.2 kilometres within the airport premises. Once operational, this pipeline will operate on a common/contract carrier basis, ensuring seamless fuel transportation to the airport, according to a joint statement.
Aligned with Noida International Airport's commitment to environmental stewardship, this common-use fuel transportation pipeline will ease fuel receipt operations and mitigate emissions by eliminating the need for tank lorry movements.
The construction of the Noida International Airport is on track to be finished this month, with trial flights anticipated to commence as early as June or July.
The greenfield airport at Jewar in Gautam Buddha Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh, is being developed to enhance domestic, as well as international connectivity to and from Delhi-National Capital Region, Noida and western Uttar Pradesh.
The airport — billed to be India's largest upon completion — is being developed by Yamuna International Airport Private Limited, a fully-owned subsidiary of Zurich Airport International AG, in partnership with the state government.
