Multiple Australian airports experience major disruption after a system outage, with passengers reporting long queues and delays. Outlets cite affected airports including Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, describing congestion in terminals and slower processing for travellers.

The reports attribute the disruption to a “major system outage” affecting airport systems used for passenger services such as check-in and related processing. While the Daily Mail describes the impact across several airports, The West Australian and PerthNow focus specifically on Sydney Airport, also noting queues forming in a terminal.

Across the coverage, the common theme is operational disruption linked to the outage rather than a specific incident affecting passengers or aircraft individually. The articles do not provide detailed technical information, exact causes, or timelines in the provided excerpts, nor do they specify the duration of the delays. The differences lie mainly in the geographic scope emphasized: some outlets report multiple cities, while others concentrate on Sydney.
