NOIDA: No constructions or tree plantations are permitted within a 20 km radius of the Noida International Airport without obtaining a 'Height Clearance' or 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) from the Airports Authority of India (AAI), officials said.
Noida International Airport on Friday issued an advisory to builders, local authorities, and other stakeholders, urging strict compliance with height restrictions in the designated area.
Securing this clearance is not just a regulatory formality but a critical requirement to ensure the safety of flight operations and protect navigation infrastructure from possible obstructions, said the airport's chief operating officer (COO), Kiren Jain.

"As Noida International Airport nears commissioning, it is imperative for the public, real estate developers, and local authorities to strictly adhere to the height restriction regulations laid down by the Ministry of Civil Aviation to ensure the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations," Jain said in a press statement.
The statement further emphasized that all stakeholders must first approach local authorities before undertaking any vertical development within the 20 km radius of the Noida International Airport.

These authorities will refer to the Colour-Coded Zoning Map (CCZM) issued by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to determine the permissible height limits. Depending on the proposed construction height, applicants may be directed to apply for a Height NOC through AAI's NOCAS portal, the advisory noted.
This entire process is governed by GSR 751(E) — the Ministry of Civil Aviation's Height Restrictions for Safeguarding of Aircraft Operations Rules, 2015 — which strictly prohibits unapproved construction within safeguarded airspace.
Violations can pose serious threats to Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) and compromise critical navigation systems, thereby endangering overall flight safety.
To ensure compliance, the Aircraft (Demolition of Obstructions caused by Buildings and Trees) Rules, 2023 empower authorities to take legal action, including demolition of unauthorized structures or trees and imposition of penalties under the Aircraft Rules, the statement said.
All stakeholders — particularly builders, landowners, and residents — are strongly urged to cease any unauthorized development within the safeguarded zone and secure the necessary NOC from AAI without delay.
Timely adherence to these regulations is crucial to maintaining safe, efficient, and unobstructed operations at the upcoming Noida International Airport, the advisory concluded.
