Brisbane airport shut down due to radar failure

Air traffic at Brisbane Airport was disrupted for a duration of about 40 minutes earlier today:

A data processing unit fault at Brisbane Airport had triggered an alert, with all flights in and out of Brisbane halted as a result.

Incoming flights from places such as Fiji and Coffs Harbour were diverted to Coolangatta Airport or put in a holding pattern over Brisbane for almost 40 minutes.

The problem has since been fixed and regular traffic control restored.
