All Chennai flights to resume today

All domestic and international flights from Chennai, both day and night, will resume from today morning after partial day-time services operated on Sunday.

 “Availability of Chennai airport for all weather day and night operations for all flights for which domestic and international terminals will be available from 6 am of 7.12.2015,” an AAI statement said here late Sunday evening.

This followed an inspection by DGCA for night operations, an AAI spokesman said.

The airport was shut down last Tuesday night after heavy downpour flooded the runway and all other operating areas.

After a review, technical and ferry flights were allowed from Saturday and the AAI had permitted day-time flights to operate from today.
