The SriLankan Airlines flight UL 165 from Colombo, which touched down at the Kochi International Airport at 3.44 p.m. on Sunday deviated from its designated path on the runway by about a metre on account of strong cross winds.

Airport sources said the runway was closed for about 50 minutes on account of the incident. The incident resulted in the return journey of the aircraft from Kochi  to Colombo being delayed.
