Flights were grounded at Adelaide Airport this morning due to lightning.

The airport said shortly before 9am that flights had resumed and warned passengers there could be delays throughout the day.

“It will take a little bit of time to catch back up today,” Adelaide Airport executive general manager Dermot O’Neill told ABC Radio Adelaide.

“It probably is some good advice for anyone flying today is to touch base with your airline.

“Days like today you can see some of these delays roll through the day, depending on the network plan for the aircraft that particular day.”
