Sydney Airport is warning passengers to expect some delays as flight patterns return to normal after disruptions caused by thick fog early this morning.

Two international flights had to be diverted to Melbourne because of the weather.

But an airport spokesman says most flights are now taking off and landing as scheduled and there is not a significant backlog.

Ferries are running to the timetable and the RTA is urging motorists to drive carefully in the conditions.

Brisbane Airport has reopened but there are still lengthy delays because of this morning's heavy fog.

Ferry services in the city have also resumed.

Earlier, visibility was down to less than 200 metres in some areas.
