Three Russian Military Aircraft Land at Noida Airport Ahead of BRICS Summit
Three Russian military aircraft, including the IL-76 transport plane, landed at Noida Airport for the first time on Tuesday morning, marking the new facility's initial foreign aircraft arrival. This event is linked to preparations for Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit and the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi on September 12-13. The aircraft remained parked on the runway with security overseen by airport and Russian teams. Traditionally, foreign military aircraft have used Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, making this landing a notable first for Noida Airport.
