Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh In a key update ahead of the Noida International Airport inauguration on 28 March 2026, Ghaziabad district authorities have withdrawn an earlier directive requiring all schools to switch to online classes on the day of the event. The revised order clears the way for regular physical classes, easing confusion among students, parents, and educators.
Schools to Remain Open on Inauguration Day
Ghaziabad’s District Magistrate had previously issued an order mandating online education on March 28 to support traffic and security arrangements linked to the airport launch. However, this directive has now been rescinded, allowing schools to operate as usual.
The administration clarified that physical classes will continue on the inauguration day, removing the online‑only requirement that caused concern among students and teachers.
Uncertainty Around 800 School Buses for Event Support
Earlier notices also included a plan to requisition 800 school buses from the district to assist in transporting beneficiaries for the Noida International Airport inauguration ceremony. Authorities had suggested using these buses to ferry people supported by government schemes to the event site.
As of now, officials have not clarified whether this bus requisition plan will proceed or has also been modified alongside the school order cancellation.
What’s Happening at Noida International Airport?
The new Noida International Airport at Jewar is scheduled to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 28 March 2026. It marks a major step in expanding air connectivity in the Delhi‑NCR region, designed to help reduce congestion at Delhi’s existing airport and serve as a future cargo and passenger hub.
Extensive preparations are underway, including traffic advisories and route diversions to manage large crowds and VIP movement on inauguration day.
Transport & Connectivity Challenges
Even as the airport opening day approaches, direct public transport links like metro rail and scheduled bus services are not yet fully operational, meaning travelers currently depend on cabs and private vehicles for last‑mile connectivity.
Authorities are planning broader connectivity options in the future, which could include regional bus networks to link nearby districts and transportation projects to improve access to the airport.
