Chaos at Sydney airport has continued amid inclement weather and an influx in travellers over the NSW school holidays, with as many as 200 domestic flights being cancelled over just a few days.
Long queues stretched out the door to the airport’s domestic departures terminal on Tuesday, as airlines including Qantas and Virgin attempted to clear their ‘backlog’.
A knock–on from the weekend’s travel chaos has resulted n fresh delays on Monday and Tuesday alongside crew shortages and poor weather conditions, with as many as 40 flights being scuttled.
A Virgin Australia spokesperson said ‘operational reasons’ were to blame.
At least six outgoing domestic flights had been cancelled since 6 am on Tuesday, according to the Sydney airport website, with flights scuttled to destinations such as Perth, Melbourne, and Orange.
