The daily direct flight services between Chennai and Salem have resumed from Sunday after a gap of three and a half years.
The flights had remained cancelled for this time period because of the pandemic. A total of 43 passengers including Goa Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai were on board the first flight from Chennai Domestic Airport to Salem this morning.
Trujet, a private passenger airline, used to operate the direct flight services from Chennai to Salem.
The flight services to Salem from Chennai were cancelled in March 2020 when the flight operations were suspended across the country.
However, the Chennai-Salem-Chennai flight services were resumed only on Sunday after the flight services have started operating again in full swing across the country.
