CHENNAI: Foreign carriers resumed operations from Chennai on Tuesday, a day after the city's airport got an all-clear from aviation watchdog DGCA.
A Gulf Air flight from Bahrain was the first to land, followed by one each of Air Arabia and Air Mauritius. Cathay Pacific and Emirates would operate later in the day, officials said on Tuesday.
Following the DGCA's nod, only two international flights were operated on Monday, both by Air India.
An airport official said that all carriers were expected to start their scheduled international flights in a day or two.
"Foreign carriers did not operate their flights immediately because there was a Notam (a Notice to Airmen) showing airport closure. Many of the airlines have started consulting their associates and ground handlers to find out if flights can be operated," the official added.
