Heavy fog impacts dozens of flights at Melbourne Airport

More than a dozen domestic flights have been cancelled in Melbourne due to heavy fog blanketing large parts of the city.

A Melbourne Airport spokesperson said the fog was "continuing to impact operations", but stressed there were minimal delays.

Drivers have also been warned of "dangerous" road conditions, with reduced visibility affecting those in the northern and western suburbs.

The State Emergency Service (SES) has advised drivers to reduce speed, maintain a greater distance between the cars in front of them and turn on their headlights.

Melbourne Airport advised delays could lengthen if the fog persists into the morning.

There have been 29 domestic cancellations this morning.

"Passengers are advised to check with their airline for updates on individual flights," the spokesperson said.
