CHENNAI: Uber is restarting its airport transportation services in Chennai following a resumption of domestic air travel.

Riders will now be able to access UberGo, Uber Premier and Uber XL services for safe, reliable and convenient airport travel needs, as permitted by government guidelines, a release stated.
