There were no reports of any injuries due to the fire and Eirtech Aviation, which operates from the hangar, has confirmed that all of its personnel were evacuated and are safe.
Due to the disruption, there are likely to be knock-on delays to flights, passengers are advised to check with their airline regarding their flight status.
