Looks like an aircraft has closed main runway at Naples, Italy.

According to this article this morning around 10 am an aircraft blew a tire during landing. The airport should open again around 14.40. If the photo featured in the article is correct (is not uncommon for journalists to pick random photos for their articles ...) the aircraft is a P180 Avanti.

to clear the rwy?
Apparently normal operations resumed shortly before 14.00, after “the removal of the Boeing” and a veeery thorough runway inspection.

Other reports (http://www.napolitoday.it/cronaca/incidente-aeroporto-capodichino-21-luglio-2020.html) suggest the airport was only closed for 30 minutes.
