Noida International Airport (NIA) has announced a strategic partnership with Kyndryl to manage its technology ecosystem and ensure round-the-clock operational support. Leveraging over three decades of experience in transforming global airports and airlines, Kyndryl will implement advanced frameworks, delivery services, and governance practices to establish seamless, tech-driven airport operations.

As a greenfield project, NIA aims to offer passengers a world-class travel experience, with technology playing a central role in its vision. Kyndryl will support this initiative by assessing the airport’s IT architecture, streamlining policies, enhancing security measures, managing digital assets, and ensuring risk and compliance readiness.

A key component of this collaboration is Kyndryl Bridge, an AI-powered open integration platform that will oversee NIA’s IT infrastructure. This system will automate processes, monitor real-time system performance, and proactively address potential issues to enhance operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction. Additionally, Kyndryl will introduce robust cybersecurity measures, including first-response protocols for cyber incidents, security policy management, and real-time health monitoring.

Christoph Schnellmann, CEO of Noida International Airport, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating, “At Noida International Airport, our commitment to excellence drives every decision we make. Partnering with Kyndryl allows us to leverage their global expertise and innovative solutions to create a world-class airport that prioritizes passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency.”

Lingraju Sawkar, President of Kyndryl India, highlighted the importance of connectivity in India’s aviation sector, noting, “It’s a privilege to collaborate with Noida International Airport ahead of its launch. This partnership allows us to integrate our full suite of technology, consulting, and sustainability services while supporting the airport’s growth and expansion.”

NIA is set to blend Swiss efficiency with Indian hospitality, offering a modern and user-friendly airport design. In its first phase, the airport will operate a single runway and terminal, handling up to 12 million passengers annually. Upon completion of all four development phases, its capacity will expand to accommodate 70 million travelers per year.
