Major airport closed as wildfires now rage across Italy
The Independent says Wildfires have closed Palermo airport in Italy today as firefighters fought to control the raging blazes.
The Sicilian airport tweeted to say it would remain shut until 0900 GMT to give firefighters an opportunity to extinguish the fires which were also disrupting local road and rail traffic.
It came days after the island’s main airport of Catania, Italy’s fifth-biggest, was closed due to a fire in a terminal building.
It has since reopened but only for a few flights.
