A forest fire that occurred in a forest area near Turkey's Izmir airport (Turkiye) forced the airport to be closed and flights were diverted to nearby cities.

This information was conveyed by a low-cost airline Pegasus on Thursday, July 18, quoted by Reuters.

Pegasus said Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport was temporarily closed and flights were diverted to Bodrum Airport, in a statement on social media platform X.

Turkey sent 7 planes and 16 helicopters to extinguish the fire, along with 35 fire trucks, the local governor's office said.
