Procession through runway, Kerala airport to stay shut for 5 hrs

The airport suspends its services twice a year — in March-April for Painkuni festival and in October-November for the Arattu procession, when Lord Vishnu is carried from the Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple on a palanquin to Shanghumugham beach, located just behind the airport, for a ritual bath.
