Domestic flights to and from Auckland have been cancelled this morning as low-lying fog engulfs the city. 

22 flights to regional centres have been cancelled - 11 departures & 11 arrivals - however flights to Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown have not been affected by the fog. 

No international flights have been affected by the fog. 

Auckland Airport put fog restrictions in place early this morning.

Auckland Transport said ferry commuters should also “expect possible delays to all Bayswater, Birkenhead, Devonport, Half Moon Bay, Hobsonville ferry services, due to fog in the Waitemata Harbour”. 

A MetService spokesperson said a mix of moist and warm conditions overnight made for “perfect fog weather”. 

“While it will disrupt the early morning commute, the conditions will lift by around 10am.”
