Travellers are having a smoother journey through Australia’s busiest airport after days of flight cancellations.

Dozens of flights out of Sydney Airport were cancelled on Friday and over the weekend due to high crosswinds, with pilots limited to a single runway.

The cancellations led to huge crowds spilling out of the terminal as the NSW school holidays began.

On Monday, flight monitors showed departures from Sydney’s domestic and international terminals were mostly leaving on time.

Only two flights departing Sydney via China Eastern Airlines and Garuda Indonesia were cancelled.

Three Qantas arrivals due from Hobart, Melbourne and Perth were also called off while dozens of other flights are expected to go ahead as planned.

The Bureau of Meteorology has also cancelled its wind warnings for NSW after gusts lingered on Sunday at the Eden coastline, south of Sydney.

The bureau recorded wind gusts of 30km/h at the airport on Saturday evening, which were slightly lighter than the 44km/h gusts recorded around lunchtime.
