MetService says the low cloud disrupting flights in the capital has lifted.
Wellington airport said 12 flights had been cancelled and a further 10 delayed on Friday morning.
An airport spokesperson said the weather was expected to improve.
“We advise passengers to check directly with their airlines for details on their flights.”
MetService meteorologist Michael Pawley said the fog hanging about was already beginning to shift.
“We’re not expecting it to stick around for much longer.”
The airport’s online departure board showed some Sounds Air and Air New Zealand flights had either been cancelled or delayed indefinitely since 6.45am on Friday.
Sounds Air owner Andrew Crawford said planes can’t land in the fog, so they’d be waiting for it to clear.
An Air New Zealand spokesperson said a small number of flights were disrupted due to low cloud, but were now operating as normal.
The fog hasn’t affected Jetstar flights.
