They would leave for Colombo via sea this Sunday. The materials and equipments for their relief operations in Colombo were expected to arrive at the Nedumbassery airport by IL-76, a medium range military transport aircraft, late this night.

Later in the afternoon, two more flights assigned with relief operations landed at the Nedumbassery airport. Two Hercules C-130 aircrafts en route to Indonesia for relief operations landed here for refuelling. The aircrafts left soon after refuelling.
