New Zealand: Disruptions reported at Wellington International Airport in Wellington Nov. 21 due to fog

Disruptions to flights are occurring at Wellington International Airport (WLG) in Wellington on Nov. 21 due to heavy fog. Dozens of flights have been delayed, canceled, or diverted to other airports. The disruptions have primarily impacted regional Air New Zealand (NZ), Golden Bay (G1), and Sounds Air (S8) flights. Officials assert that larger jets can operate normally; however, they ask that passengers reconfirm flights directly with their airlines.

Flight disruptions at WLG are likely to continue in the coming hours until visibility returns. Lingering disruptions are likely after normal operations resume as airlines work through the backlog of flights.
