Sydney Flights Cancelled as 'Bomb Cyclone' Looms over NSW Coast
- Qantas and Virgin Australia cancelled at least 23 domestic flights from Sydney due to a bomb cyclone impacting New South Wales in early July 2025.
- The cancellations followed warnings of a fast-forming low-pressure system called a bomb cyclone expected to bring heavy rain, damaging winds, and coastal erosion from Coffs Harbour to Bega.
- Authorities issued hazardous wind and surf warnings, urged residents to secure loose items, and noted risks of flash flooding amid saturated soils from previous floods in May.
- Emergency Services Minister Jihad Dib characterized the storm as massive and intensifying, while a senior official from the NSW State Emergency Service described it as a rapidly evolving and highly active weather system.
- The weather system caused over 600 emergency incidents and disrupted flights, but was forecast to shift offshore and ease by Thursday, with residents advised to stay updated on warnings.
