Sydney airport is in chaos on Monday evening as a major storm grounds flights.
The weather office alerted Sydney airport of an incoming storm cell around 5.15pm before thunderstorms and heavy rain began to lash the city, halting flights.
Passengers reported being told the airport was ‘closed due to storms’ around 5.20pm.
A Sydney airport spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that while airport is not officially closed, some airlines have delayed flights.
