Jacobs selected to manage $700m Noida International Airport Project
Jacobs will be responsible for strategic planning, risk management, digital solutions, design and interface management, procurement and contract management, construction management and testing and commissioning.
Zurich Airport International will invest around US$700m (CHF 650 million) in the first phase of construction, which is expected to last around four years. This phase will accommodate approximately 12 million passengers a year. By 2024, the project will cover 1,334ha on the outskirts of Jewar.
The second phase of the project will include a second terminal and runway, increasing capacity to 30 million passengers a year.
Bob Pragada, Jacob’s president, said, “Delhi is one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world and it’s growing quickly. The airport will deliver much-needed aviation capacity for the city, helping to boost tourism, create jobs and support economic development in the region.” He added that the airport would improve connectivity to cities in UP, which is home to tourist attractions like the Taj Mahal. It will also reduce congestion at the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
