A thick blanket of fog has covered Sydney this morning, stopping all ferries and delaying flights entering and leaving the airport.
Some international flights trying to enter Sydney have been diverted to other cities, some outgoing domestic flights have been cancelled while others have been delayed. Sydney airport is encouraging passengers to check the status of their flight with their airline.
Meanwhile, all ferries in Sydney have been stopped and Transport NSW has advised commuters to seek alternative transport. They haven’t advised what time services will resume.
