Brisbane Airport diverting flights: Delays for passengers due to fog

Brisbane Airport is having to divert some flights as the city wakes up to a thick layer of lashings.

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

Meanwhile, other planes circle above the airport, waiting for the fog to clear.

Visibility at Brisbane Airport dropped to 50 meters earlier this morning.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a road weather warning for Brisbane due to hazardous conditions.

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