Drones Banned Near Noida International Airport for Security
Imagine a brand new airport, like a giant playground for airplanes!
To keep everything safe, the police have said no to flying toy airplanes or drones nearby.
This is because the area around the airport is now a 'red zone,' meaning it's off-limits for these things.
This rule helps protect the airport and the planes that will be taking off and landing.
Building this airport is a big deal, and it will bring in more money and jobs to the area.

The ban aims to secure the airspace and maintain high security standards.
The airport has been designated a Red Zone for drones since October 8, 2024, per directives from the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
