Fire fighters are cleaning up a chemical spill at Auckland Airport.

A Fire Service spokesman said three fire trucks were called to the chemical spill at an Air New Zealand cargo building on Ogilvie Crescent shortly before 11am.

"There are no fumes and it seems to be very minor."

One of the appliances was a hazardous materials unit, he said.

It was not yet known what type of chemical was involved in the spill.

Air New Zealand was not immediately available to comment on the incident.
