Indian skies opened up for domestic passenger services from Monday after a gap of two months, with Delhi-Pune and Mumbai-Patna flights were among the first to take off, aviation industry sources said.

Both the flights were be operated by IndiGo on Monday morning.

It was announced last Thursday that one-third of pre-lockdown domestic flights will operate from Monday.
