💨 Abstract

The Thiruvananthapuram International Airport will temporarily suspend flight services for five hours on November 9 to accommodate the 'Alpassi Arattu' procession of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, a centuries-old tradition where the procession crosses the runway. The airport regularly pauses operations twice a year for this event, maintaining a balance between cultural tradition and modern aviation.
