Potential delays at Customs in Australia
Last Updated: 04/10/2016 04:58 PM
If you are travelling internationally from Australia between Monday, 26 September (12:01 AM) and Sunday, 9 October (11:59 PM) please arrive at the airport 3 hours before your scheduled flight time and proceed straight to Customs after checking in.
Employees from the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) will be taking industrial action across Australian airports during this period. This means you may experience some delays when departing from international airports across Australia. There may also be some delays through Customs for passengers flying in to Australia.
DIBP will be putting contingency measures in place to limit disruption to normal operations. However, we recommend you arrive at the airport early to allow enough time for Customs processing before your flight.
