Overview
- A thick fog layer reduced visibility on Sydney Airport’s tarmac and forced delays and cancellations across the airport network.
- Confirmed cancellations include Qantas QF405, QF1427, QF2160 and QF425, Jetstar 505 and a Qantas international service to Christchurch.
- Sydney Airport says it is monitoring conditions and has advised passengers to check the status of their flights directly with airlines.
- The Bureau of Meteorology warned that reduced visibility will make road conditions dangerous across suburbs and urged motorists to take extreme care and use Live Traffic NSW for updates.
- Fog commonly forces airports to restrict landings and ground movements for safety, which can cascade into missed connections and broader timetable disruptions for travellers.
