Default Massive Delays at SYD due to radar failure

Sydney domestic and international flights delayed due to air traffic control system fault

Thousands of airline passengers are facing delays, including families heading off for the school holidays, following an air traffic control system failure in Sydney.

Dozens of flights have been cancelled while many more are experiencing delays of more than two hours.

Air Services Australia (ASA) said there had been a "system software failure" at Sydney's air traffic control at 5:00am this morning.

As a result, only a limited number of flights were able to land and depart.
ASA said the glitch had now been resolved but the airlines expected disruptions to continue as they dealt with a massive backlog.

There are long queues at check-in and transfer desks.

Jan Ibbottson is on holidays from the UK and said it was frustrating her flight to the Gold Coast was cancelled.

"I'm very calm about it, but it's chaos," she said.
