Uber, Noida Airport collaborate to improve airport-ground transport link
Ride-hailing company Uber has entered into a strategic partnership with Noida International Airport to provide passengers with smooth and tech-enabled ground transportation directly from the airport terminal. The collaboration is aimed at enhancing end-to-end travel convenience and aligns with Noida International Airport's commitment to multimodal connectivity, the company said in a statement on Thursday.
As part of the agreement, Uber will set up exclusive pick-up zones within the airport premises. These will be supported by on-ground personnel and detailed wayfinding guides to help passengers navigate from the arrival gate to their ride.
'Uber will operate dedicated pick-up zones, complemented by on-ground assistance and step-by-step way finding guide — assisting riders on their way from the gate all the way to the Uber pickup zones,' the company said.
To improve operational efficiency, Uber driver-partners will also be allocated reserved parking spaces at the airport, helping to reduce estimated arrival times (ETAs) for passengers.
