The adverse weather conditions over Colombo forced the diversion of two international flights to Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala. One of the diverted flights was a Turkish Airlines flight originating from Istanbul, carrying 258 passengers and 10 crew members. The second flight, operated by SriLankan Airlines, departed from Dammam in Saudi Arabia with 188 people onboard, including 8 crew members. Both flights safely landed at Thiruvananthapuram around 7 a.m.
