The agreement, inked in Delhi, outlines collaborative efforts between NIA and IndiGo to enhance and fortify air connectivity not only in Uttar Pradesh but also extending beyond the state’s borders. Christoph Schnellmann, CEO of Noida International Airport, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the potential to innovate and ensure an exceptional customer experience. IndiGo’s CEO, Pieter Elbers, echoed the sentiment, expressing thrill at the prospect of being the launch carrier for NIA. Elbers emphasized IndiGo’s commitment to advancing connectivity and delivering a seamless travel experience, leveraging the extensive route network and expertise of the leading airline.
