A fuel supply issue that saw nearly 60 flights cancelled at Perth Airport has since been resolved but has left a hefty backlog of flights.

A refuelling issue that grounded nearly 60 planes at Perth Airport has been fixed but a significant backlog of flights remains, spelling more delays for travellers. Travellers heading to or departing the main West Australian airport were left in limbo due to a fuel load pressure issue in the supply system which meant planes could not be refuelled. Perth Airport announced on Saturday afternoon the issue had been resolved with the help of external experts.

The Perth Airport website shows there are still dozens of delayed international and domestic flights. Qantas issued an update earlier on Saturday for its travellers explaining the cancellations and delays were due to no fuel being available to any aircraft on the ground at the airport.
