Domestic flights into Sydney from all destinations have also been delayed, with passengers told the flights could not land at Sydney Airport.

The Sydney problem will have major knock-on effects for the whole country throughout the day.

"If one airport sneezes the others will catch the cold because we're all interconnected," a Brisbane Airport Corporation spokeswoman said.

"A lot of flights will be impacted because it is one of the busiest routes to and from Brisbane."

Melbourne Airport also confirmed likely delays throughout the day.
