Ground ops, housekeeping: Job portal for those who gave up land for Jewar airport

All eligible candidates, said officials, can submit their resume for jobs available within the airport ecosystem.

The Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), the Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) and the Gautam Buddha Nagar district administration have developed an online career portal to provide jobs for the project affected families (PAFs), officials said Thursday.

All eligible candidates, said officials, can submit their resume for jobs available within the airport ecosystem. “We had 334 families that were directly affected by the project. A total of 181 candidates have already applied for jobs. The jobs would mainly be in the domains related to the operation of terminal and airlines, civil and electrical works, housekeeping, and hospitality. Apart from this, candidates will also be employed in ground operations, and as airline security agents. While the vacancies are open for the general public too, priority will be given to PAFs. In case they are hired and not employed later, the YIAPL has to justify the decision to the NIAL,” Rakesh Singh, Chief Executive Officer, NIAL, told The Indian Express.

He added, “YIAPL and its partners have organised three recruitment drives for the candidates on September 11, October 31 and December 2. Over 300 candidates participated and we have rolled out 24 offer letters to the eligible ones.”

Singh said that the initiative would also help map vacancies with the available pool of talent. “All job opportunities at the airport would offer minimum wages, as notified by the government including bonus, provident fund contribution, Employees State Insurance (ESI) contribution, gratuity and leave benefits,” said the CEO.

Bachoo Singh, Additional District Magistrate (Law and Order), said, “We have identified the list of people and sent the names to the NIAL. It is their job to train them and provide them the job. When the land acquisition was done, those affected had two options — to apply for a job at the airport site or take Rs 5.5 lakh. The names of those who opted for jobs with the airport site in Jewar were shortlisted and sent.”

In this regard, officials also said that YIAPL had also renovated two classrooms and washrooms at Jewar and organised a skill development programme covering two specialised courses in aviation — passenger handling and ramp operations. “We are also focusing on development of communication skills and spoken English. To make efforts to provide jobs to PAFs in a more effective and coordinated manner, a joint committee was constituted, which had representation from NIAL, Noida administration and YIAPL,” said an official.

“From the outset, NIA was developed with the vision of becoming a strong economic anchor for western UP. One of the core principles of the NIA was that this airport must create a long term impact for all stakeholders, especially for the families in and around Jewar who contributed their land to help make this project a reality. This is an initiative in that direction,” the official added.
