More than 40 flights cancelled at Sydney Airport in public holiday chaos | sarah_keoghan
More than 40 flights have been cancelled at Sydney Airport due to poor weather conditions, creating chaos for hundreds of travellers who were hoping to take advantage of the public holiday.
As a result, multiple airlines chose to cancel services ahead of the poor weather forecast to prevent thousands of travellers arriving to potentially cancelled flights at Sydney Airport on Thursday. “Passengers are advised to check with their airline regarding the status of their flight. Passengers who are travelling today are recommended to arrive 2 hours prior to domestic flight departures, and 3 hours for international services.”
The airport is now expecting Friday to be even busier than predicted as Sydneysiders make their way to Melbourne to see the Swans in the AFL grand final.“The alternative was to run the gauntlet and have those passengers show up,” he said. “If we did go to single runways there would have been lots of disrupted passengers in the terminals today.”
