Passengers face long delays at Melbourne Airport after the air traffic control tower lost power.
No flights were heading in or out for up to 30 minutes this morning.
Flights resumed about 9.45am but the airport warns of long delays of up to an hour as it deals with a backlog of flights.
Air Services released this statement:
Passengers are advised to expect delays to flights arriving and departing Melbourne this morning due to technical issues at our control tower at Melbourne Airport.
As a safety precaution all traffic into and out of Melbourne has been slowed down.
Flow on delays to the national air traffic network are expected.
We thank the travelling public for the patience as we work to resolve the technical issues as soon as possible.
