INAUGURAL FLIGHT / BACKGROUND
Namaste & Hello everyone,This is a very special flight as it marks the begining of new era of smooth connectivity of the western region of my home state of Uttar Pradesh (U.P).As the very first and only Aviation Vlogger of my city and state I always ensure to document these golden chapters of aviation whenever I have the opportunity.Noida International Airport is a greenfield airport situated the Jewar district and nearby the newly developed cities of Noida and Greater Noida.This Airport hopes to serve millions of people residing in this region which otherwise had to rely on New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport which is the only civil airport in the entire Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) which includes Noida,Greater Noida,Gazhiabad,Gurgaon,Faridabad among many other towns and cities that lie in the bordering states of Delhi like Haryana and my state of U.P.
Noida Intl Airport (DXN / VIND) is also significant because not only it brings relief to the millions of people in the western U.P region but also helps Delhi's IGI Airport (DEL / VIDP) by decongesting it and diverting nunbers of passengers that not only led to air traffic congestion but also road traffic chaos so its an overall win - win situation for both the entire National Capital Region (NCR)
LET THE IMAGES TALK
Celebratory decorations at my homebase Lucknow Airport's T3 Departure's check in area with IndiGo counters decked up in baloons for the inaugural flight.
One of the trademark hallways of my airport,this beautiful "valley of flowers" as its known here is what you pass through everytime you fly out domestically from my homebase post security.I hope you all get to walk through this beautiful hallway someday too.
My Aircraft today is a brand new four months old Airbus A320neo Reg. (VT-IOM) which arrived the earlier night from BLR and did a few circuits of pilot training over my residential area which is nearby airport.
Boarding gate 16 tbrough which I boarded this historic flight
Boarded and seated on my seat 24A and took off from RWY 27 cruised to 26,000 FT and within 20 or so minutes we began descent into Noida and flew over the vast rich fertile soil of my home state which if not summers,would have looked like a million shades of beautiful greens, and made a smooth landing at RWY 28 and ofcorse the best part of the flight was the water cannon salute absolutely love it.
After landing I disembarked the aircraft into the beautiful new terminal building of the Noida Intl Airport.We were all given a goodie bag that comprised of some memorable goodies and chocolate and all of which in much detailed is shown in my Flight Report.
Thank you for flying with me on this historical flight and I hope you enjoyed both images and video version of my Flight Report.
