Fog causes travel delays in Auckland

Flights and ferries have been delayed in Auckland because of heavy fog.

Fog restrictions were put in place at Auckland Airport at 6.53am.

Eight regional domestic flight departures have been affected and one arrival, because of fog.

Airport operations supervisor Tieri Christopher said flights on the main trunk line - to Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown - had not been affected.

International flights were also not affected.

Passengers were being asked to check Auckland Airport's website www.aucklandairport.co.nz or its app for the latest flight arrival and departure information.

Most ferry services were delayed and the New Zealand Transport Agency thanked passengers for their patience.

Yesterday, fog blanketed much of the city and the upper North Island.

It caused traffic disruptions and delays to ferry services.

Auckland Transport tweeted that Birkenhead and Northcote Point ferry passengers may face delays because of fog on the western side of the Harbour Bridge.

West Harbour passengers were also due to face delays.
