Warning of flight delays at Sydney airport as thick fog covers city

Sydney Airport is warning that thick fog over the city is likely to impact flights today. 

The city woke up to fog lying about 50 meters above the ground, stretching from the southern to the northwestern outskirts of the city.

A Sydney Airport spokesperson said weather conditions would be monitored throughout the morning

“Fog has descended on the airport, causing delays and cancellations across the network. We will continue to monitor weather conditions throughout the morning.

“We advise passengers to check the status of their flight with their airline.”

It has already affected flights to Sydney, with two international passenger services diverted to Brisbane airport.

Three cargo flights have also been diverted to Brisbane.

The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of treacherous conditions on the city’s roads.

“Limited visibility in fog will make road conditions dangerous in all suburbs on Wednesday,” a spokesperson said.

“Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution.”
