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.
