Australia: Severe weather continues to disrupt domestic flights at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport as of July 1 /update 1
Severe weather disrupting domestic flights at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, New South Wales, Australia, July 1. Confirm flights.
Event
Adverse weather conditions continue to disrupt flights at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD), New South Wales, as of July 1. Strong winds since have reportedly forced the usage of only one runway, leading to delays and cancellations affecting over 100 domestic flights June 30, with further cancellations of over 30 flights the morning of July 1. International flights remain unaffected, though disruptions cannot be ruled out.
Additional flight delays and cancellations are likely in the coming hours and may lead to increased demand for alternative means of transport. Lingering disruptions are possible after regular flights resume as airlines work to clear passenger backlogs. Delays are also possible at other regional airports due to potential aircraft and crew repositioning.
Advice
Reconfirm flights at SYD through at least July 1. Plan for increased demand for available flights. Do not check out of accommodation before confirming onward travel.
