Noida International Airport Selects Kyndryl to Manage Technology Operations
Noida International Airport (NIA) has
selected Kyndryl, an IT infrastructure services provider, to manage the
airport's modern technology environment and 24x7 support model. Kyndryl will
provide NIA with the latest frameworks, advanced delivery services and
governance practices to ensure best-in-class technology-driven operations.
As a greenfield airport, NIA aims to offer customers a memorable experience
while traveling through its terminal. With technology at the center of that
experience, Kyndryl will work with NIA to build a robust IT foundation by
reviewing existing architecture, establishing frameworks to effectively steer
policies, implementing technology delivery changes, security services, asset
management and managing risks and audit compliance during operations.
Kyndryl will also manage NIA's IT estate on Kyndryl Bridge, accelerating the
automation of its IT infrastructure, while monitoring the real-time health and
performance of its systems. Kyndryl Bridge, an AI-powered open integration
platform, will be core to the airport's 24x7 technology support system, helping
the airport proactively detect and mitigate issues before they impact
operations and customers' experience at the airport.
Kyndryl will also implement robust information security services including
first response systems to cybersecurity incidents, security policy
administration and health status monitoring.
Christoph Schnellmann, Chief Executive Officer, Noida International Airport,
said, "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. Kyndryl's proven
track record in managing complex IT environments ensures that we are well-equipped
to meet the demands of modern aviation."
"In India, there are many citizens who are yet to take their first flight.
Improving people connectivity across India is imperative and supports critical
infrastructure needs and the India Government's national agenda. It's a
privilege to enter into a new customer engagement with Noida International
Airport ahead of the airport launch as it allows us to bring into purview the
entire gamut of technology, consulting, delivery and sustainability services
that Kyndryl offers as well as grow and develop along with the airport's
expansion and growth," said Lingraju Sawkar, President, Kyndryl India.
Noida International Airport will combine Indian warmth and hospitality with
Swiss technology and efficiency to develop a modern, user-friendly design,
inspired by India. The first phase of the airport will feature one runway and
one terminal, with the capacity to handle traffic of 12 million passengers
annually. Upon completion of all four development phases, the airport will be
able to cater to 70 million passengers per year.
Noida International Airport (IATA code - DXN) will connect the greater Delhi
area and Western Uttar Pradesh with other cities in India and the world. The
airport is committed to an ambitious net-zero emissions goal supported by
sustainable design and operations principles.
Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) was established to
develop, construct and operate the Noida International Airport. The company, a
unit of Zurich Airport International AG, is responsible for the implementation
of the project in partnership with the Government of Uttar Pradesh and the
Government of India.
