Noida International Airport Teams Up with Kyndryl for Seamless Technology Operations
Noida International Airport (NIA) has partnered with Kyndryl, the world’s leading IT infrastructure services provider. This collaboration will see Kyndryl overseeing the technology operations of NIA, ensuring a seamless experience for passengers while enhancing operational efficiency at one of India’s most anticipated greenfield airports.
Noida International Airport is set to become a major hub for air travel, and its leadership is committed to ensuring that technology plays a pivotal role in its operations. With Kyndryl’s more than three decades of expertise in managing complex IT systems, this partnership will lay a solid foundation for NIA’s digital infrastructure. As a greenfield project, NIA is determined to provide a world-class experience to its passengers, and technology will be integral to this mission. Kyndryl will help design and implement a robust IT framework for the airport, starting with an evaluation of the existing architecture. The collaboration aims to establish clear governance structures and integrate risk management practices to ensure both security and operational efficiency. This will ultimately result in a smoother and more secure experience for passengers.
The cornerstone of this partnership is the implementation of Kyndryl Bridge, an AI-driven platform designed to manage and monitor the airport’s IT infrastructure. This cutting-edge system will enable real-time performance monitoring, detecting potential issues before they escalate into disruptions. Through its proactive approach, Kyndryl Bridge ensures that NIA’s operations run smoothly without downtime, thus keeping the passenger experience uninterrupted. Cybersecurity is a growing concern for the aviation sector, and NIA is taking proactive steps to protect its digital assets. Kyndryl will implement a suite of cybersecurity solutions, including first-response systems and security policy management, to ensure that the airport’s digital environment remains secure from potential threats. Continuous health monitoring will also be employed to safeguard the airport’s IT estate, protecting sensitive information and providing peace of mind for both passengers and staff.
Christoph Schnellmann, CEO of Noida International Airport, highlighted the importance of this collaboration: “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 prioritises passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency.” As Noida International Airport prepares to open its doors, it is determined to offer a modern, user-friendly design that combines the best of Indian hospitality with cutting-edge Swiss technology. The airport’s first phase will feature one terminal and a runway, with an annual passenger capacity of 12 million. However, as NIA grows, the airport plans to expand to a capacity of 70 million passengers, making it a critical hub for India’s expanding aviation market.
Lingraju Sawkar, President of Kyndryl India, emphasised the significance of the partnership: “India’s expanding aviation market is key to improving connectivity, and we are excited to support Noida International Airport in its journey. This collaboration allows us to bring our expertise in technology and sustainability, ensuring the airport is prepared for future growth and success.” The collaboration between Noida International Airport and Kyndryl marks a major step towards building an airport that will meet the needs of tomorrow’s travellers. By investing in robust IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, NIA is positioning itself as a forward-thinking, global airport. The synergy between cutting-edge technology and exceptional service promises to offer passengers a truly world-class experience, setting the stage for the airport’s growth and success in the coming years.
