A widespread technical problem with the immigration e-gates has resulted in significant delays at Sydney International Airport. The Australian Border Force has confirmed that the smart gates at airports all over the country are experiencing an outage, and their teams are working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
A spokesperson for the Australian Border Force has reassured travelers that they are doing everything in their power to fix the problem and have even deployed extra officers to assist with the smooth facilitation of passengers. They sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delays and are working tirelessly to get things back on track.
As a result of the technical issue, there are currently long lines stretching from the immigration gates all the way to the other end of the terminal at Sydney Airport. Frustrated travelers have taken to social media to express their concerns, with one stating, "If you're flying international out of Sydney, be prepared for a kilometer-long queue at the immigration check."
Fortunately, the delays have not affected flights from Virgin, Qantas, and Jetstar, as ground staff are taking proactive measures to call passengers forward and keep things moving as smoothly as possible. This has been confirmed by a tweet from a passenger who stated that their flight with Virgin had not been impacted by the technical issue.
Meanwhile, other major airports such as Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, and Cairns have reported that they are not facing any delays due to the technical problem and are operating as usual. As the situation develops, we will continue to provide updates.
