Australia: Severe weather disrupting domestic flights at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport as of June 30

Event

Adverse weather conditions are disrupting flights at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD), New South Wales, as of June 30. Strong winds have reportedly forced the usage of only one runway, leading to delays and cancellations affecting over 100 domestic flights. International flights remain unaffected, though disruptions cannot be ruled out. Officials did not indicate when services will normalize; the Bureau of Meteorology states winds could ease by late afternoon.

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.

Advice

Reconfirm flights at SYD through at least June 30. Plan for increased demand for available flights. Do not check out of accommodation before confirming onward travel.
