Intermittent fog at Christchurch airport is leading to flight delays and cancellations on Tuesday morning.
Eight domestic flights were cancelled when fog descended on the airport at about 7.25 am but by 8 am the initial pall had cleared.
Airport spokesperson Sean Tully said the fog had returned shortly after 9.15 am and more disruptions were likely.
“Visibility at the airport is about 400 metres so we’re in low visibility operations which slows traffic between arrivals and departures,” Tully said.
Tully said the fluctuating conditions could continue to disrupt flights and advised passengers to check with their airline for any delays or cancellations.
