GROSSBRAND AM FLUGHAFEN IN ISTANBUL

ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) -- A massive fire has engulfed the cargo section of Turkey's Istanbul Airport, forcing some air traffic to be suspended.

The fire on Wednesday broke out in the cargo area of Terminal C of the international Ataturk airport. No injuries have yet been reported but a line of ambulances was standing by.

The cause of the blaze was unclear but Kaya Heyse, a producer for CNN's sister network CNN Turk, said some officials suggested it could have been accidental.

Thick plumes of smoke billowed about 30 meters (100 feet) into the air, television footage showed. Heyse said the smoke could be seen from all over Istanbul.

He said the fire was being contained in the cargo C section of the airport but it was threatening a hotel near the airport. Firefighters were tackling the blaze as planes doused water from the air.

Commercial aircraft were continuing to land at other parts of the airport during what is a busy time of year, Heyse said.
