Brisbane Airport diverts flights: delays for passengers due to fog

Brisbane Airport is forced to divert several flights as the city wakes up under a thick blanket of scourge.

Planes are being sent to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

Meanwhile, other planes fly over the airport, waiting for the fog to clear.

Visibility at Brisbane Airport was reduced to 50 meters this morning.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a weather alert for Brisbane roads due to hazardous conditions.

Queensland Police are urging motorists to drive carefully and adapt to the conditions.
