The issue is impacting the T1 International terminal and T2 Domestic.
However it is understood T3 Qantas domestic terminal and inbound flights have not been affected.
A power outage was believed to be behind the issue, Fairfax reported.
Jennifer Olding, who has been at the airport since 4am, said the gates between the departure and security remained closed.
“They announced that they had a power outage and so no one could go through border security,” she said.
Ms Olding said it wasn’t clear how long it would take to fix and even airline staff were unable to proceed past the gates.
Friday is one of the busiest travel days for Sydney Airport with thousands passing through the check-in gates during the morning alone.
Other passengers have reported huge delays on Twitter.
