from BBC wires:

Flights from Birmingham Airport have been severely disrupted following a fire at the main terminal.

The terminal has been evacuated following the blaze.

Fire crews were called out to the airport just before half past eight this morning after a small fire broke out in the basement of a service corridor.

The corridor's sprinkler system managed to extinguish the fire after a number of pallets caught light.

Crews from three stations were quickly at the scene and are currently dealing with the situation.

It's not yet know how it'll affect flights from the main terminal and there's no offical word yet on when the terminal might reopen.
