“There is a building — the new reception centre for asylum-seekers — which was under construction,” said airport spokesman Ignace Jeannerat.<\/p>\n

“It is on fire. It is outside the airport perimeter. It is creating a lot of smoke.”<\/p>\n

The explosions came from five gas cannisters at the site, TdG Geneva reports.<\/p>\n

Flames spread from the top floor of the building where insulation work was taking place.<\/p>\n

Ten gas cannisters remain at the site and there are concerns they could explode as well.<\/p>\n

Around 50 fire fighters tackled theblaze and there are 15 fire engines at the site.<\/p>\n

There are no reports of any deaths or injuries and one person was taken to hospital suffering from shock.<\/p>\n

Geneva<\/a> has suspended landings for the time being, while take-offs are being left to pilots’ discretion, he explained.<\/p>\n

The airport arrivals board showed incoming flights from\u00a0Lisbon<\/a>,\u00a0Barcelona<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Madrid<\/a>\u00a0had been diverted, whilst others were delayed.<\/p>\n

Geneva is Switzerland’s second-busiest airport after\u00a0Zurich<\/a><\/p>\n

The runway is next to the border with\u00a0France.<\/a><\/p>\n

Later the airport said that landings and take-offs were suspended at 5.35pm local time.<\/p>\n

The fire was brought under control at 6.30pm and there were no visible flames or smoke.<\/p>\n

Firefighters continued to hose down the building, which is surrounded by scaffolding and tarpaulins.<\/p>\n

The runway will be re-open initially for take offs at around 7 pm.<\/p>\n
