Air Services Australia says there was a system software failure at air traffic control in Sydney.
While the issue was fixed by mid-morning, it took several hours to clear the backlog of flights.

A cab driver offered to drive them all the way to Sydney when he found out they would miss their connecting international flight.
The family is hoping to claim the fare on insurance.
