Around 50 flights in and out of Auckland Airport have been affected due to heavy fog this morning.
The fog came in thick and heavy over night covering much of Auckland and though it has cleared in many parts it is causing mayhem for travellers to and from the city.
So far 17 domestic flights have been cancelled, 26 are delayed and five international flights have been affected by the fog.
Auckland Airport says the fog is lifting, but says it will take some time to clear the backlog of flights.
Flights at Hamilton Airport have also been affected.
People travelling in or out of Auckland or Hamilton are advised to check online or contact their airline to check flight statuses.
