Rome’s main airport was closed on Thursday after a fire broke out in a baggage storage area but there were no serious injuries, officials said.
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
The airport would remain closed until 2 p.m. (1200 GMT), they said.
The fire broke out shortly after midnight (2200 GMT) in an underground baggage area of Fiumicino airport’s Terminal 3, which is used for international flights.
