Flights were cancelled as a wildfire raged near an airport in Palermo, Italy, this morning.

Footage shows the blaze glowing bright orange as it scorched the edges of the Falcone Borsellino Airport in Sicily on Tuesday, July 25.

Officials said that all air traffic was suspended until 11 am local time as firefighters extinguished the fire around the perimeter.

The flames started near Cinisi town in Palermo and had spread due to windy conditions, authorities said.

Italy is facing extreme fluctuating weather, with violent hailstorms followed by record-breaking heat waves. Some researchers have linked the theory of climate change and global warming to the events.
