Fog has caused disruption at Auckland Airport with domestic flights cancelled on Monday morning.

The airport was under fog restrictions from 3.45am until just before 7am.

Air New Zealand said 26 fights had been cancelled.

Among the cancellations were services to New Plymouth, Napier, Palmerston North, Nelson and Blenheim, according to the airport's website.

International flights were not affected, the airport said.

Extreme fog in the harbour meant delays on the ferry service between Downtown and Beach Haven due to vessel speed constraints, Auckland Transport said.
