It appears that crews have quickly extinguished the flames and the jet is sitting halfway off a runway. Local media is reporting that one of the plane's engines caught fire. At this time it is believe that the airport is closed to all air traffic. There are no reports of injuries and the runway will likely be closed in the coming hours.

This is the second such incident today, as an American Airlines flight at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport caught fire around 2:30 p.m. local time.
