Qantas confirmed six of its flights were cancelled on Friday evening while Jetstar advised it would reach out to customers affected by its cancelled flights.
The cancellations were on the eve of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival, with some inter-state visitors venting concern that they will not be able to make it to the event.
A severe weather warning was issued for Sydney, Illawarra, South Coast, as well as the Snowy Mountains district, with the Hunter and Central and Southern Tablelands also expected to be impacted.
Heavy rainfall across the region was expected with possible flash flooding.

“We’re expecting from about midnight [tonight] until dawn is when we’ll see the heaviest rainfall,” Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Katarina Kovacevic said.
