Border Fail – Border Force outage causes chaos at Sydney Airport

Australian Border Force terminals are suffering from outages, causing delays, frustration and long snaking queues at Sydney’s international terminal.

The start of the queue to get into international departures, we are all wondering if 2 hr early is enough. #sydneyairport pic.twitter.com/E64adpC6fj

E-Gates not working

Passport security e-gates are not working due to the outage. Speculation is that this outage may be wider than Sydney. Delays have also been reported in Brisbane Airport.

Hi Ian, thanks for patience this morning. We were experiencing delays due to a nationwide Border Force issue.
