A lightning warning at Auckland Airport earlier this morning has now been cleared.

The airport confirmed that all flights will now resume to schedule and all planes can now refuel.

Eighteen domestic flights and two international flights have been delayed today. Three international flights have been diverted.

There were 130 lightning strikes in Auckland in a five minute period this morning. 

The airport cannot say whether the delays are because of lightning.
