Six fire crews are at the Auckland International Airport after reports of a possible fire inside the terminal late this morning.
Emergency crews were called to the airport about 11.47am.
Northern fire communications shift manager, Colin Underwood, said it is thought there was a fire inside a plant roominside the terminal which resulted in smoke being seen inside part of the terminal.
Underwood said six fire crews remained on site as the job had been classified as a second-alarm response.
A spokeswoman for Auckland Airport said airport emergency services and Fire and Emergency NZ staff were now investigating the "sighting of smoke at the international airport'' this morning.
A more detailed description of what had happened is due to be released later this afternoon, she said.
