Flights from Adelaide to Brisbane and the Gold Coast have been cancelled as airports close before Cyclone Alfred makes landfall.
The last flight out of Adelaide to Brisbane departed at just after 10am on Thursday with flights cancelled for the rest of the day.
All 12 of Friday’s scheduled flights from Adelaide to Brisbane have been cancelled as well as the services to the Gold Coast.
The Virgin Brisbane-Adelaide service has been cancelled on Saturday.
However, a Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Sunshine Coast Airport scheduled to depart at 7.40am on Saturday has not yet been cancelled.
Currently, the Sunshine Coast Airport is operating as normal for all passengers.
Passengers are advised to stay up to date with the latest information from their airline.
Ahead of the cancellations, Virgin has announced all customers travelling on Virgin Australia services to or from Ballina, Brisbane, Bundaberg, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast airports from Tuesday March 4 to Saturday March 8 inclusive can choose to move their flight to a new date within 14 days of the original departure date free of charge.
“We understand people may no longer wish to fly to or from areas which may be impacted by Tropical Cyclone Alfred, so we are making it easier for guests to change their travel plans,” a Virgin spokeswoman said.
Qantas and Jetstar passengers have offered their own arrangements for passengers flying in and out of the cyclone affected areas.
“We realise that this is a challenging time for many of our customers and are offering additional flexibility including travel credits and fee free date changes to those who have booked flights to or from the impacted areas,” a Qantas Group spokesman said.
