The blaze broke out on an industrial estate close to the end of the runway at about 1pm.
A fire service spokesman described it as destructive and said the focus was on stopping it from spreading.
It took 50 firefighters and 15 vehicles to bring it under control 2 hours later.
Teams remain on site to make sure there’s no further outbreaks.
