More than 400,000 people in south-east Queensland are estimated to be without power this afternoon following a major power outage that has affected multiple systems, including traffic lights and Brisbane's airports.
Energy provider Energex confirmed the "widespread outage", that began about 2.30pm, was affecting customers "from the Gold Coast to Caboolture".
Brisbane's Domestic and International Airports both reported their systems going offline for about 15 minutes before backup generators kicked in, which resulted in three flights being delayed.
