Question 1

Do I need an AAI NOC to buy or build on land near Ayodhya airport?

Accepted Answer

You do not need an NOC to buy land. You need one before any construction starts. All structures within 20 km of the Aerodrome Reference Point of Maharishi Valmiki International Airport require a height clearance NOC from AAI under GSR 751E.

Question 2

What is the airport funnel zone, and how does it affect building height in Ayodhya?

Accepted Answer

The airport funnel zone runs along the runway approach and departure paths. The permitted height equals 2% of the distance from the runway edge. A plot 1,000 m from the runway end is capped at just 20 m above ground level.

Question 3

What is NOCAS, and how do I apply for the AAI height clearance NOC?

Accepted Answer

NOCAS is AAI's online NOC application system at nocas2.aai.aero. Register, enter your plot's WGS84 coordinates and site elevation, and AAI will process the application within roughly three weeks. The NOC is valid for eight years.

Question 4

What is a color-coded zoning map (CCZM), and does Ayodhya Airport have one?

Accepted Answer

A CCZM is a grid map issued by AAI showing the Permissible Top Elevation (AMSL) for each zone around the airport. If your plot falls in a red grid, local bodies cannot approve construction, and you must apply directly to AAI via NOCAS.

Question 5

What happens if a building violates airport height restrictions near Ayodhya airport?

Accepted Answer

Violation of GSR 751E can lead to denial of the occupancy certificate, show-cause notices, and, in serious cases, court-ordered demolition of non-compliant floors. The builder bears the cost; the buyer inherits the liability.

Question 6

How does AAI calculate the permitted height: from ground level or from sea level?

Accepted Answer

AAI calculates from AMSL (above mean sea level). Subtract your site's ground elevation from the AMSL permissible top elevation to find your actual above-ground level (AGL) allowance. High ground elevation means a lower AGL ceiling.

Question 7

Does the Ayodhya Master Plan 2031 under the Ayodhya Development Authority affect plots near the airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Ayodhya Development Authority Master Plan 2031 divides the development area into 18 zones and designates transport and buffer zones around the airport corridor. AAI height rules and ADA zoning restrictions both apply independently; complying with one does not exempt you from the other.

Question 8

Can I build a hotel or commercial property near Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in Ayodhya?

Accepted Answer

Only with a valid AAI height NOC and ADA building map approval. AAI's airport master plan includes three hotels within the airport campus itself. Commercial plots on the Faizabad Bypass Road are viable, but height ceilings under the conical surface must be confirmed through NOCAS before any development commitment.
