The final match for the ICC World Cup 2023 will be hosted at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Furthermore, provisions have been made for ensuring a smooth flow of travellers and flights.

According to a statement by the spokesperson of the SVPI Airport, all the security teams in the terminal and landside are kept on stand-by with dynamic resource allocation based on passenger load to ensure smooth transit through the airport.
Passengers are also notified about airspace closure for Air display by the Indian Air Force on 17 and 19 November from 13.25 hours to 14.10 hours.
