Flight services will be suspended in order to facilitate the Alpassi Arattu Procession by Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. The airport suspends its flight services every year at the time of the traditional Arattu procession. During this procession, the idol of Lord Vishnu is carried to Shankumugham Beach which is just behind the airport in Thiruvananthapuram. On this occasion, the deity is given a ‘holy dip’ twice a year.
