IndiGo will be the biggest operator at NIA for the foreseeable future, as Tata-backed AI Group\u2019s mounting losses have led its budget airline staying away for now.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>AI Express has pulled out of Ghaziabad\u2019s Hindon Airport also. \u201cAI Group is cutting costs and may not be keen to spend setting up facilities at an airport in an area where it is already present (Delhi\u2019s IGIA). <!-- -->The flights that have been cut by AI Express due to market demand and network rationalisation include those from Delhi too,\u201d said sources.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Hindon has seen a drastic reduction in flights this summer despite being located in the heart of a densely populated area. This has happened due to airlines reducing flights because of the West Asia war\u2019s devastating impact on operating costs and the defence airport\u2019s own limitations.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Hindon last winter saw a peak of about 25 daily aircraft movement, meaning 25 arrivals and as many departures. That number kept falling and is now at just eight with IndiGo having five arrivals and as many departures and Star Air at three. The number fell after IndiGo reduced its operations and AI Express pulled out its 10 daily flights.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>While the flight reduction is part of the overall cuts we are seeing globally, Hindon poses serious operational challenges for airlines with just two parking bays for commercial aircraft and limited sunrise to sunset operational hours. If one aircraft gets delayed on the ground for some reason, then the other aircraft which was to land and take this slot has to be diverted to IGIA. However, Hindon is adding parking bays.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/no-ai-express-flights-from-noida-hindon-airports-for-now\/articleshow\/131595249.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Noida International Airport (NIA) will now begin operations next Monday with one fewer launch airline as Air India Express has indefinitely postponed its plans to have flights from there.
