As part of the partnership, Taj SATS will set up an advanced in-flight catering kitchen at Jewar airport. Authorities stated that the facility will serve flights operating from the upcoming airport as well as other airports across North India, expanding aviation service infrastructure.

Enhanced cargo handling capacity is likely to benefit sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture exports, pharmaceuticals and e-commerce logistics.
Employment and economic significance
Officials emphasized that the project could generate substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities across logistics, aviation services, food production and facility management. The initiative is also seen as part of efforts to position Uttar Pradesh as a major aviation, trade and logistics hub.
Strategic investment outlook
Analysts say international partnerships with global aviation service providers can help bring advanced technology, operational expertise and global standards to regional infrastructure projects. Successful execution of the MoU will depend on timely construction, regulatory approvals and coordination between state agencies and private partners.
Officials indicated that preparatory planning for the cargo complex and catering facility will begin after technical assessments, land-use clearances and design approvals are completed. Authorities said coordination between state agencies, airport developers and private partners will be essential to ensure timely execution and operational readiness before major commercial flight activity begins at the airport.
